Andrew Corporation
Andrew Corporation was an American hardware manufacturer for communications networks, was founded by Victor J. Andrew in the basement of his Chicago, Illinois home in 1937, and further established in Orland Park, Illinois in 1953. Andrew was a renowned global telecommunications company that played a significant role in the development of wireless communication technologies.
Andrew Corporation products included antennas, cables, amplifiers, repeaters, transceivers, as well as software and training for the broadband and cellular industries. The corporation supported customers in 35 countries across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Americas, with manufacturing plants in 12 countries, at one time employing over 4,500 people. Andrew's sales in 1999 exceeded US$791 million. Specific product applications include antennas, cables, amplifiers as well as software and training in radio and other wireless communication systems.
In 1992, Andrew Corporation was on the Chicago Tribune's "Chicago's Top 100 Companies",
Andrew notably held subsidiaries in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Scotland, and throughout the United States (California, Texas). In 1986 Andrew acquired Scientific Communications, Inc. (SciComm), and Kintec Corp, further acquiring The Antenna Company in 1996. Andrew acquired Channel Master's Smithfield, North Carolina satellite dish factory, equipment, inventory and intellectual property in an $18 million deal after that firm filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on October 2, 2003.
Andrew Corporation was acquired by CommScope for $2.6 billion in June 2007.
Originally founded in 1937, Victor J. Andrew planted the roots to Andrew Corporation in his Chicago bungalow home on Francisco Avenue in Chicago, Illinois before upgrading to a factory space on 75th Street a few short years later. The 75th Street location was just south of Midway Airport and mainly housed manufacturing plants and factory spaces.
In 1947, Victor J. Andrew and C. Russell Cox (original Andrew employee and future Andrew executive) made the executive decision that the company had outgrown the Chicago space and started inquiring on spaces in the suburbs with seemingly limitless property and business potential.
After 10 years in their Chicago facility, Andrew Corporation moved operations to Orland Park, Illinois, a suburb about 15 miles south of the 75th Street location. Andrew purchased the 430 acre vacant, unincorporated lot for $200 per acre. The location was strategically chosen for its proximity to the Rock Island and Wabash Metra train lines, as well as its potential for future growth.
