Notre histoire
Exens Solutions is the result of an evolution linked to various acquisitions and disposals, which originated back to the company Thomson CSF.
Installed in 1947 in Corbeville in the south of Paris, this site regrouped various research laboratories developing Traveling Wave Tubes (TWT) and Klystrons.
Subsequently, other activities emerged such as Silicium (Si) and Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) semiconductors, ferrite-based components (isolators, circulators), and microelectronic modules (amplifiers, voltage-controlled oscillators, etc.).
After growing, some activities left Corbeville to become autonomous.
Thus, Thomson CM division (Thomson Microwave Components) was created in the early 1980s, bringing together microelectronic modules, ferrite components and silicon diodes (Massy and Montreuil sites).
Afterwards, the company changed names several times: Tekelec, Temex, Chelton Telecom & Microwave, Cobham Microwave and lately Exens Solutions.
Thomson CM division is sold to Tekelec group
Temex Microwave branch is sold to Cobham group
Cobham Group is acquired by Advent International fund (US)
Cobham Microwave is sold by Advent to the FCDE French fund
Cobham Microwave left Cobham group and became Exens Solutions
