SELEX Galileo's Palermo plant and Centre of Excellence.pdf (2597 KB) for TWT and Microwave Components was established in 1956 for the production of vacuum electronic devices. The Company has a strong heritage in design, development and production of Magnetron, Klystron and High Power Coupled Cavity Traveling Wave Tubes (TWT). In the 1990s the product range was expanded following the introduction of the helix TWT and chip and wire technology for microwave microelectronics hybrid integrated circuits, components and sub-assemblies.
 
Today SELEX Galileo has extensive expertise in the development and production of state-of-the-art TWT, mini TWTs, Microwave Power Module (MPM), High Power Amplifier (HPA) and top-class microelectronics solid state components and sub-systems for airborne, naval, ground, missile and space applications for the defence and aerospace market.
 
This experience, coupled with the Palermo site's long history of TWT production, means that it is the ideal partner of choice for microwave power, integrated receiver and exciter solutions for radar, security, Electronic Warfare (EW), Electronic Support Measures (ESM) and communication systems.
 
Other companies in the Finmeccanica group, SELEX Sistemi Integrati, SELEX Communications and MDBA, are served by the Palermo site for Tubes and Microelectronics and our main customers include: Mectron (Br), BAE Systems (US), Rheinmetall Italia (IT), Elettronica SpA (IT), amongst others.
