Amphenol reposted this
We are pleased to announce today the closing of the acquisition of the Outdoor Wireless Networks and Distributed Antenna Systems businesses from CommScope. I am most excited that as part of this acquisition we will now be calling the company Andrew, an Amphenol company. The roots of both Amphenol and Andrew trace back to the visions of two Chicago entrepreneurs — Arthur J. Schmitt and Victor J. Andrew. Arthur founded his company, American Phenolic Corporation, which he later shortened to Amphenol, in 1932 as a manufacturer of tube sockets for AM radios. Five years later in 1937, Victor launched Andrew Corporation, a manufacturer of antennas for those same radios. Amphenol and Andrew in the 1930’s were pioneering companies at the forefront of enabling the electronics revolution of their era. Today, more than eight decades later, these amazing high-technology organizations unite together in Amphenol. While there have been enormous changes over these many years, one core value remains constant — we are a team of entrepreneurial Amphenolians dedicated to Enabling the Electronics Revolution with all of our customers across our diversified end markets around the world. I am excited to welcome the global team of more than 4,000 new Amphenolians from Andrew to our organization. I look forward to working together with you for many years to come. I have no doubt that Arthur and Victor would be truly proud today, and would be even more proud of what we will create together in the future! https://www.andrew.com/
