Subsidiary of Redditch’s Solid State wins £3.8m contracts

Custom Power, a subsidiary of Redditch-based manufacturer Solid State Group, has been awarded two major contracts with a combined value of £3.8 million.

The contracts will see the company supply battery packs for a pair of defence contractors in the US.

Deliveries will commence in early 2025 and are expected to conclude within the calendar year. Both have the potential for multi-year framework agreements.

Matthew Richards, managing director of Custom Power, said: “While diverse in operating environments, these two contracts respectively required solutions that optimised size, weight and power for operation in harsh environments, which are key strengths for Custom Power.

“We’re delighted that in both instances, existing customers who are leaders in their respective markets selected our Fountain Valley California facility as their business partner for such prestigious programmes that have the potential to run for several years.”
