“Silanna’s diversity of cultures, unique expertise and talents combine to create technologies that help minimize environmental impact and protect the health 
& wellbeing of our global community.”

Robert Lobban

Managing Director, Silanna

Silanna’s mission is to invent and develop disruptive, best-in-class technologies that will benefit the planet and the people on it. To achieve this, we place a great emphasis on nurturing and empowering our people, supporting them to achieve their true potential. This is coupled with an inclusive, diverse and progressive working environment, and a drive to support the local communities in which we operate. All this is backed by strong corporate governance and oversight across our business.

Environment.

At Silanna, we view sustainability through a realistic lens: engineering clean, highly optimized hardware that addresses specific industry challenges while minimizing waste, eliminating hazardous materials, and reducing energy loss through high-volume production processes.

This can be seen across all our product groups, be it through our factory configurable ADCs, which shift the economics to allow far larger, more energy efficient production runs; our low-loss laser driver architectures, which cut losses in LiDAR and range finder applications in half, and our UVC technologies, which enables sterilisation without the use of chemicals and the hazardous run-offs this causes.

Beyond the products we sell, our responsibility extends to how we design and build them. Silanna continuously invests in 'design for manufacture' (DFM) principles and optimized production processes to lower operational energy use, reduce emissions, and maintain strict environmental standards throughout our global supply chain.

Social.

Silanna is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to inclusivity, diversity and equity in all aspects of our worldwide operations and demand the same commitments from our own global suppliers and other stakeholders.

Our people are behind every single one of the company’s successes, and we work hard to hire and retain individuals looking for the chance to unleash their creativity and inventiveness. As well as providing challenging and rewarding roles in everything from design engineering to manufacturing and from sales to finance, our commitment to staff includes a variety of benefit and rewards packages, a collaborative, friendly and dynamic working environment and access to on-the-job and external training.
 
We also believe Silanna has a positive role to play in the communities in which we operate, with social responsibilities going beyond our own workforce. For example, we have strived to build strong links with local universities, and support both students and leading-edge research programs.

Governance.

Silanna and its subsidiary companies operate to the highest possible standards of corporate governance and oversight across all areas of the business.

As well as robust internal controls and audit processes, we ensure full compliance with local, regional and national requirements in all of the territories in which we operate. This compliance extends to our supply chain, with ongoing assessment and monitoring of suppliers and partners around the world.
