Twenty years ago this month, our company was re-imagined and moved from Burbank, California to South Beloit, Illinois. We chose South Beloit because of it\u2019s proximity to Colleges with Electrical Engineering programs , and Technical Schools with Electronics Technician programs. The biggest reason we came here was the quality of the workforce as a result of those schools, and the embedded manufacturing base that was already here.
We were lucky to have 15% of our full time employees move cross country with us. Many of them had never touched snow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The results of that move are clear. We\u2019ve developed an electronic control brand with world class quality and best-in-class service. Twenty years later, we have the strongest collective group of expertise and know-how in our market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pictured below are the employees who were here with us in 2003, and are still with us today. We\u2019re proud of our people beyond words, and recognize EACH of them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
