Pragmatic Semiconductor’s journey with CPI: Scaling UK semiconductor manufacturing

How do breakthrough ideas become world‑leading manufacturing businesses?

The UK’s ambition to strengthen its semiconductor capability depends on more than innovation alone. It relies on the ability to scale new technologies into high‑volume, resilient manufacturing.

Pragmatic Semiconductor set out to do things differently. By pioneering flexible, ultra‑low‑cost integrated circuits, the company aimed to embed intelligence into everyday products at unprecedented scale.

But moving from early‑stage invention to commercial manufacturing requires the right partners, the right place, and the right moment to scale.
That’s where CPI came in.

From the earliest days, CPI worked alongside Pragmatic to help develop manufacturing processes, de‑risk scale‑up and build the foundations for commercial production. The journey began within CPI’s facilities at NETPark, Sedgefield, in the North East of England and has since grown into high‑volume manufacturing at Pragmatic Park in Durham, one of the UK’s most advanced semiconductor facilities.

In this short video, you’ll hear from those who have been part of the journey from the very beginning, alongside today’s leaders and the next generation, who are carrying the story forward. It shows how a long‑term partnership, place‑based innovation and a disciplined approach to scale‑up have helped Pragmatic become a world‑leading semiconductor manufacturer, strengthening UK supply‑chain resilience, creating high‑value jobs and inspiring future innovators.
