Silanna unifies semiconductor and UV businesses under one brand

Silanna has объединed its semiconductor and UV LED operations into a single company, aiming to simplify customer access and speed development across analog, laser driver and disinfection technologies. The move keeps key facilities in Brisbane and San Diego while centralizing sales and support through silanna.com.

Why it matters: - The unified structure gives Silanna one corporate identity across its semiconductor and UV businesses. - The company is aiming to improve customer access to multiple technology platforms through a single organization. - Silanna says the move supports faster innovation in analog technologies and advanced UV products.

What happened: - Silanna announced the unification of Silanna Semiconductor and Silanna UV under the Silanna name on Aug. 4, 2026. - The company will operate through three technology divisions: factory-configurable analog-to-digital converters, ultra-efficient laser drivers and UV LEDs. - Silanna will keep its R&D facility in San Diego and its epitaxy and fabrication manufacturing facility in Brisbane. - Sales and operations teams, manufacturers representatives and international distribution partners will continue supporting products worldwide. - silanna.com will serve as the company’s unified global website.

The details: - The ADC division is focused on long-term supply chain security and lower costs. - The laser driver division is designed to cut LiDAR and rangefinder power losses in half. - The UV LED division is positioned for chemical-free disinfection of water, air and surfaces. - Silanna’s Plural ADC platform is built to create multiple preconfigured SKUs from a proprietary chip design. - Silanna says the Plural platform is intended to increase production scale, lower prices, reduce time to market and remove capacity constraints versus legacy ADCs. - FirePower, the company’s laser driver design, combines power, firing and fault sensing functions in a single chip. - Silanna says FirePower supports precision and safety through adjustable power output and pulse width. - Silanna’s UVC LEDs are used in water quality sensors, gas sensors, HPLC and disinfection applications. - The company says it is commercializing shorter-wavelength LEDs, including 255 nm and 230 nm.

Between the lines: - The rebrand folds two adjacent technology businesses into one structure, which can make Silanna easier for customers and partners to navigate. - The move also signals a broader effort to connect materials science, semiconductor engineering and UV applications under a single commercial strategy. - Rob Lobban, managing director of Silanna, said the combined brand will strengthen how the company delivers for customers. - Lobban also said the change is meant to support performance, supply confidence and faster movement from development to application.

What's next: - Silanna will continue marketing its technologies through worldwide sales channels and its distribution network. - Customers and partners will engage with Silanna through one company for its semiconductor and UV platforms. - The company’s long-term focus remains turning materials science and semiconductor breakthroughs into industrial and commercial technologies.

The bottom line: - Silanna is betting that one brand, one website and one operating structure will help it scale both chip and UV innovation faster.
