British defence and telecoms firm Filtronic has penned a further multi-million-pound deal with SpaceX, the aerospace behemoth owned by Elon Musk.

The company won a contract with SpaceX, worth almost £17m for the financial years 2025 and 2026, according to the firm, which made the announcement to markets this morning.

Filtronic, which designs and makes products for the aerospace, defence and telecoms market, said after the contract that it is “now confident the business will exceed current market expectations for revenue and profit in both FY2025 and FY2026”.
