ERI Relocates Production
Company moves to larger facility
CHANDLER, IND.: Broadcast component manufacturer Electronics Research
Inc. has moved a production facility from Gray, Maine, to its headquarters in Chandler,
Ind.
This particular operation makes television filters, waveguide and coaxial switches,
patch panels, directional couplers and other RF components. The announcement listed
benefits of the move: a “larger, state-of-art manufacturing facility and cross-trained
workforce”; better access to engineering, internal sales support and software resources;
and a more centralized location.
ERI quoted President and CEO Tom Silliman saying the relocation process “presented
many challenges, however ERI was able to successfully complete the move with no
disruption to deliveries. The move to the Chandler facility means that all manufacturing
now takes place at the corporate headquarters with access to all of the advantages
and resources that entails.”
Vice President of Marketing Bill Harland told Radio World in an email that the facility employed 11 people. “None
of those individuals offered relocation to ERI’s Indiana factory accepted,” he said.
The facility was among assets of the Broadcast Products Business Unit that ERI acquired
from Andrew Corp. in 2003. It housed the Passive Power Products business that Andrew
in turn had acquired in 1999 from its founder Spencer Smith. ~ Radio World
