National Semiconductor (UK) Ltd. company, which is a subsidiary of big analog chip maker National Semiconductor, began producing microchips in 1970. Through its wafer fabrication facility in Greenock, Scotland, it produces analog semiconductors, power management chips, LED drivers, and other devices used in mobile consumer electronics, medical imaging instruments, sensing and detection equipment, and communications gear. A lawsuit brought by employees of the Greenock fab, claiming that toxic chemicals used in the facility had harmed unborn children, was settled in early 2006. The United Kingdom is National Semi's second largest European market, after Germany.

PolyIC GmbH & Co. KG develops technology for making integrated circuits (ICs) that are printed on flexible polymer films rather than etched into traditional rigid wafers of silicon. Flexible microchips stand to have many applications, for example in radio-frequency identification (RFID) chips used to track goods in transit. If PolyIC meets its stated goal, it will develop equipment that makes it as easy to print semiconductors as it is to print newspapers today. The company was formed late in 2003 as a joint venture between industrial titan Siemens and printing and stamping specialty company LEONHARD KURZ.

Vishay PM Group wants to be a prime mover in onboard weighing equipment. Through several subsidiaries, the company makes scales and software used in the construction, cargo haulage, and waste management industries. The scales are carried on board heavy trucks and other hauling vehicles to measure weight and assign identifying numbers to cargo items. (The company makes similar systems used on cranes.) PM software then hooks up with GPS equipment to provide route and invoicing management. In 2007 Vishay Intertechnology acquired the company for about £22 million in cash, while PM's electrical contracting business, PWE, was sold to former CEO Geoff Mountain for around £9 million.
