Radiall is a company that designs, develops, and manufactures connectors and associated components for use in electronic applications.
At that time, France intended to be a world leader in television by using higher frequencies through its SECAM standard.
Yvon and Lucien worked hard to invent a cheap and easy-to-use interconnect that would fit the application.
By 1967, the Gattazes were already thinking about expanding in Europe, so they created a subsidiary in Staines, England: Radiall Microwave Components Ltd.
Buying Sogie showed Radiall's desire to continue specializing in multipin connectors.
A year later, a new factory was created in L’Isle d'Abeau to produce hyper frequency components for military use.
In order to become a major US player in the multipin connector business (concerning mostly the Aerospace industry), Radiall acquired Jerrik in May 1995, located in Tempe, Arizona.
Radiall continued its expansion in the United States with the acquisition of Larsen, a company based in Portland, Oregon that specialized in antennas for military purposes.
In 1994, the company continued to expand in Asia with Radiall Protectron, located in Bangalore, India.
In 2005, Radiall acquired Applied Engineering Products (AEP) located in New Haven, CT.
On July 29, 2015, Radiall announced the acquisition of VAN-SYSTEMS, an Italian company that designs and manufactures circular electrical connectors for industrial applications.
Radiall's 9 manufacturing plants are located in the United States, Mexico, France, China and India.
