Silanna partners with Caterham
On the occasion of the Spanish Grand Prix, Caterham announced the arrival of a new partner, Silanna, which specializes in the production of semiconductors.
Silanna’s products are present in a multitude of industry sectors as they are found in the latest generation of smartphones and tablets, while their ultraviolet light-emitting diodes will be integrated starting next year into applications related to food packaging and water sterilization.
This is why the Australian company is entering the category of partners, as its presence will not be limited to just having its logo on the cars of Kamui Kobayashi and Marcus Ericsson. Indeed, their products are also expected to be integrated into the functioning of these cars, as explained by Cyril Abiteboul, the director of Caterham: « Silanna is a company that operates at the pinnacle of modern technology, and we are delighted to see them join us as an official partner. There are obvious synergies between our two companies, and we are already working to identify specific areas where we can learn from Silanna and wish to incorporate elements of their technological expertise into our challenge on the track. »
The company’s goal is therefore twofold: to make its brand known and to have the excellence of its products recognized. This is demonstrated by Rob Lobban, the company’s director: « Caterham and F1, in general, represent the pinnacle of motor racing. We are therefore very proud and excited to be associated with both. Silanna’s goal is to bring disruptive technologies and products to the market. Working with Caterham gives us the opportunity to spread the message and put our name in the spotlight associated with F1. »
