An initial staff of 30 was employed at the former Shoppers World general merchandise store, which was at that point only 50% converted to industrial use. The remainder of the area was converted over the subsequent six months with the numbers employed rising to over 100 by early 1976. The then Operations Manager, Jerry Gosda said at the time "We are very satisfied and pleased with the personnel we have employed. We have no problems and have met no negative surprises."
The early production focused on axial discrete resistors, but the site soon developed into a leader in high reliability tantalum nitride film resistors and networks. Over the intervening decades it has supplied critical components into many high reliability military, avionic, satellite and space exploration systems.
Power architecture choices during initial design phases of next-generation military aircraft platforms will influence performance, upgrade flexibility, and through-life sustainment cost.
Hybrid microelectronics can deliver maximum performance from miniaturised solutions in the most demanding environments
Hallogic® Hall-effect devices, part of the Optek technology portfolio, are designed for non-contact motion sensing and switching, with variants screened for military and space applications, making them suited to high-reliability designs.
