Gooch & Housego pursues a strategy of optoelectronic diversification to further strengthen our position in the Aerospace and Defence and Life Sciences sectors. This is supported by the ongoing development of close relationships with our key customers as we progressively migrate from the largely component-level product set of today to modules, sub-assemblies and instruments in the future.
Adding the necessary skills and resources in engineering, management and manufacturing will be a high priority for the group, with increased capacity, reduced lead-times and shorter development times being our main objectives.
The supply-chain and strategic partnerships we have established will be critical in supporting growth and providing flexibility, and we are considering a small number of bolt-on acquisition opportunities which have the potential to help achieve our growth objectives more quickly and cost effectively than would be possible by other means.
