Guerrilla Acquires Gallium Semiconductor’s GaN Product Lines

Guerrilla RF made headlines in February with the announcement of its acquisition of Gallium Semiconductor, a move that marks a significant development in the semiconductor industry. The acquisition includes all previously released components and new cores under development at Gallium Semiconductor, with the transfer of associated intellectual property to Guerrilla. This strategic move, effective from April 26, 2024, is expected to have a profound impact on both companies.

CEO and founder of Guerrilla, Ryan Pratt, expressed his optimism about the acquisition, stating, "Guerrilla RF was already advancing GaN device development as part of its organic growth strategy. The acquisition of Gallium Semiconductor's portfolio significantly accelerates this strategic initiative. We anticipate this transaction will yield meaningful revenue with favorable margins in the near and long term."

Henk Thoonen, CEO of Gallium Semiconductor, also shared his thoughts on the merger, saying, "Merging these new products into Guerrilla RF's portfolio is expected to be fast and seamless. Both companies share common foundry partners for GaN and GaAs products and target similar applications and market segments." The collaboration is set to bring a diverse range of products to the market, ranging from simple transistors to fully integrated asymmetric Doherty PAs.

Guerrilla RF's integration of Gallium Semiconductor components into its ordering system is already underway, with full portfolio integration expected to be completed by June 2024. This move is seen as a strategic step towards expanding Guerrilla's product offerings and enhancing its position in the semiconductor market.

With Gallium Semiconductor's closure, the industry is witnessing a shift in the semiconductor landscape. The acquisition by Guerrilla RF not only ensures the continuity of Gallium Semiconductor's products but also opens up new opportunities for innovation and growth. The combined expertise of both companies is expected to drive advancements in GaN device development and strengthen their market presence.
