TRU Corporation Celebrates 60-Year Anniversary

PEABODY, MA, April 04, 2011 - TRU Corporation, a leading provider of RF and microwave cable assemblies and interconnects, announces a year long celebration of its 60-year heritage of innovation. TRU Corporation was incorporated by James O'Neil on April 20th, 1951 in Peabody, Massachusetts and continues to be owned primarily by the O'Neil family. Scott O'Neil, President of the company, remarks "Our customers have associated our name with quality, reliability and value for 60 years now. This has always been our hallmark, we are very proud to have built this company with a focus on the customer."

A History of Experience and Innovation

TRU, like many pioneering RF companies of the time, became integrally involved in the early support of military programs targeted at the development of radar technologies for the war effort. As RF technologies continued to evolve in frequency and complexity, TRU supported a growing number of challenging radar and missile technology requirements which continue today in programs such as Aegis, AWAC and Patriot. The exacting requirements of the defense industry established TRU as a premier supplier of high quality and performance products.

The emergence of wireless technologies diversified TRU into a growing number of commercial markets and product. TRU was the first domestic manufacturer of the 7-16 DIN series connectors in the U.S. As demand continued to grow for advanced semiconductor products to power wireless devices, TRU developed a high power/ voltage expertise for the industrial semiconductor equipment market including key patented innovations for interlock switching and quick disconnect interface mechanisms. TRU continues to expand capabilities into low-loss cable assemblies for higher frequency and performance applications, ideally suited for defense, test & measurement and emerging alternate energy requirements.

The 60-Year Celebration

Events are planned beginning in April to mark this historic milestone of the company and to pay tribute to the company's long legacy and contribution to the industry. Linda Moulton, CEO of TRU Corporation, notes "Our ability, as a U.S. company, to grow and innovate for 60 years is a remarkable achievement in an industry that has seen tremendous change over the last three decades. Our customers continue to reinforce the value of our quality, experience and innovation in their success."
