About Us

Overview

Firebird Semiconductors Ltd. was incorporated in 1991 in Trail, BC to continue the compound semiconductor technology developed at Cominco Electronic Materials (CEMI). CEMI was sold to Johnson Matthey Electronics in 1989 and the Trail operation was shut down in 1990.

Firebird has recently redirected it’s efforts from a company content on supplying one market (Indium Antimonide (InSb)), to a company directed at taking advantage of opportunities in its core competencies and strengths.

In 2004 the corporate name was changed to Firebird Technologies Inc. to reflect the new direction of the company.

In 2009 Firebird Technologies Inc. was sold to 5N Plus Inc. For more information on 5N Plus visit www.5nplus.com
