Technology for Energy Corporation (TEC) announced today they have acquired Huntsville innovative engineering company RadioBro Corporation.
The Huntsville team focuses on the development and production of embedded measurement devices and wireless communication technologies for the aerospace and defense industries. The merger will let them continue that work here in Huntsville, bringing more new jobs with it.
According to TEC CEO Buddy Simpkins, RadioBro is an agile company, strong in rapid product development that has spent the last seven years developing some cool technology.
“RadioBro has a core set of technologies that collect data remotely and transmit the data back to a server which could be used to benefit our customers in both our electric power and aviation product lines,” said Simpkins. “Additionally, they (RadioBro) have focused on avionics development and have technologies that may be useful to our aviation product line helping us expand towards on-board avionics.”
RadioBro’s CEO Mark Becnel said they are excited to be a part of the growing TEC team.
“With this new relationship, we’ll be able to rapidly scale and provide unique products and services across multiple industries,” Becnel said. “The level of service and quality our customers have come to expect will only continue with this new venture with TEC.
“We’re also excited that this allows us an opportunity for an immediate expansion of several new jobs here in Huntsville, with more to follow.”
TEC is an employee-owned company based in Knoxville, Tenn. that designs and manufactures diagnostic instruments for four diverse industries: aviation (also known as ACES Systems); materials testing; nuclear products; and electric power (Powermetrix).
