July 15, 2008

Company History

For more than 30 years, the heritage companies which comprise Spectrum Microwave have supplied its defense and commercial customers with innovative and sophisticated RF & Microwave components and assemblies for demanding applications.

Spectrum Microwave originally evolved under the direction of Spectrum Control’s CEO Richard Southworth out of their expertise in RF & Microwave ceramic filter and antenna technologies. Spectrum’s initial strategic acquisitions in 2002 were FSY Microwave and Salisbury Engineering, both companies were leaders in there own right.

Since then, Spectrum Microwave has grown into a Multi-Million dollar corporation, made up of eight synergistic microwave companies whose mission is to deliver a quality product with exceptional performance. The growth of Spectrum can be attributed to those heritage companies that make up the core of our organization, including Amplifonix, Qbit, Magnum Microwave, Radian Technologies, EMF Systems, FSY Microwave and Salisbury Engineering.

Company Today

Spectrum Microwave, a wholly owned subsidiary of Spectrum Control, is now a leader in RF Component & System designs. Spectrum Microwave combined the rich history and talented staff of eight RF & Microwave corporations, into one world class organization.

With 5 East Coast Design/Manufacturing facilities and 2 International Commercial Manufacturing Centers abroad, Spectrum, last year in keeping with industry demands, opened a 250,000 sq. foot facility in State College, Pa.
