Radar technology puts Arralis on the map

Even for a company specialising in cutting-edge radar technology, Limerick company Arralis could hardly have seen the past week coming.

The technology company which designs and manufactures high-frequency semiconductor chips for the aerospace and security sector yesterday followed a major EU funding announcement last week with two big-time sales contracts.

Two Chinese companies have awarded contracts worth a combined $1.45m (€1.29m) to Arralis with the contracts signed as part of the Ireland China Conference led by Enterprise Ireland and Jobs Minister Richard Bruton in Beijing.
