The Huntsville Connection

Huntsville, Alabama is perhaps the best-kept secret in the entire electronics industry. A rich labor pool provides access to technical talent in all disciplines and the low cost of living in Madison County and the surrounding area makes for a stable job market with the ability to retain key employees. Our roots in Huntsville go back almost 20 years, which have enabled us to cultivate a history and relationships with most of the local players. The Huntsville electronics culture is still small enough to be dominated by these relationships. It is not unusual for business commitments to be formalized by a handshake, rather than a lengthy contract.

Huntsville has been ranked in numerous national publications over the last few years for both quality of life and concentration of high-tech workers.
