SweGaN wins commercial orders worth SEK25m from global customers
SweGaN AB of Linköping, Sweden — a manufacturer of custom gallium nitride on silicon carbide (GaN-on-SiC) epitaxial wafers, based on proprietary growth technology — says that it has secured multiple new commercial framework agreements from customers across Europe, Asia, and the USA. The orders received during the first four months of 2026 represent a total contract value of about SEK25m and will contribute to revenue over the next coming 6-18 months.
The new orders span a broad range of applications, including power devices for data centers and RF devices for defense, aerospace and telecommunications.
The strong growth and commercial traction across a diverse global customer and application base “indicates the recognition the market is showing to the value our material performance and tailored solutions can bring to their products,” says CEO Jr-Tai Chen. “These design-in and design-win orders will propel our abilities to invest in capacity expansion and continued product innovation for the future,” he adds.

In conjunction, SweGaN has also appointed Ulf Nolemo as chief commercial officer (CCO), effective 1 May, responsible for leading global commercial strategy, including sales & marketing activities, business development, and strategic customer partnerships.
Nolemo has 30 years of experience in the semiconductor industry, with a track record of scaling commercial operations and driving innovation across international markets. He has previously held leading positions at Ericsson, Wolfspeed, Macom, NXP, and Infineon.
“The appointment of a chief commercial officer marks an important step as we enter our next phase of growth,” says Chen. “The industry experience and commercial leadership brought by our newly appointed CCO will be critical as global demand for our GaN epitaxial solutions continues to expand.”
