Anaren

What Anaren does

Anaren, founded in 1967 and headquartered in East Syracuse, New York, is a specialized microwave and RF technology company serving wireless infrastructure, satellite communications, medical, and optics markets. The company designs and manufactures RF components and assemblies — most notably the Xinger® brand of RF components and the Mini-Xinger® AEC-Q200-qualified portfolio for automotive applications — alongside integrated microwave assemblies, beamforming networks, circulators, and microelectronics such as multi-chip modules and custom mixed-signal ASICs. Anaren's product portfolio targets mission-critical applications where high-frequency signal integrity, miniaturization, and reliability are required, including phased-array antenna systems, communications systems, radar, and surveillance applications.

Anaren operates within the broader portfolio of TTM Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTMI), a publicly traded manufacturer of advanced PCBs, RF components, and mission systems. Through its parent, Anaren benefits from a global manufacturing footprint spanning North America, Asia Pacific (China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan), and Europe (Switzerland, Germany), with co-located capabilities in advanced PCB technologies such as HDI, RF/Microwave PCB, and substrate-like PCB. The company's go-to-market is B2B component and subsystem sales to OEMs and tier-1 suppliers in aerospace & defense, automotive, data center computing, industrial & instrumentation, medical, networking, and 5G/6G. Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed at the Anaren entity level given its status within the TTM Technologies corporate structure.

Anaren's leadership comprises Lawrence A. Sala as President & Chief Executive Officer and Conrad Gagnon as SVP & Chief Financial Officer. The company has pursued inorganic growth historically, including the January 2017 acquisition of Cellular Machines, and its operational strategy is increasingly aligned with parent-company priorities around Ultra-HDI manufacturing in Syracuse, NY, automotive qualification, and positioning of advanced packaging for hyperscale AI data center workloads.
