The story so far…

Ant Group was founded by John Hensley in 1987. Aged just 21 and with contribution from the Prince’s Youth Business Trust, he began work learning his trade working with Marconi on radiation-hard silicon on sapphire wafer projects for space, defence and SATCOM.

The end of the Cold War left the company vulnerable due to its core military focus, but a chance meeting at the Prince’s Youth Business Trust Exhibition in 1990 provided a lifeline. Ant Group soon became a well respected pan European supplier of ESD production consumables with a strong portfolio of products, services and customers and a reputation for being a ‘safe pair of hands’.

Our vision: To enable global manufacturers to build their products, their service and their reputation – our service is the very foundation of our customer’s success.
