Fort Wayne, Ind. (October 22, 2009) — eXcellon Technologies, Inc., announced today that it has recently received a letter of commendation from the United States Department of Defense. The letter was sent to eXcellon based on the company’s work with ITT Communications Systems’ Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS).
“This is a well-deserved honor for a tremendous company, with a reputation for excellence,” stated Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry. “eXcellon Technologies is a primary example of the hard-work and persistence found in the City of Fort Wayne.”
The company was recognized for its expediency in the production and delivery of the installation cabling needed to create the Vehicular Remote Control Unit (VRCUs) for the SINCGARS. It is very rare for the United States to issue commendation letters to defense subcontractors
“We are regarding this letter of commendation as a significant achievement for our company,” stated Joan Taller president and CEO of eXcellon Technologies. “The fact that the U.S. Department of Defense chose to recognize a subcontractor speaks volumes, not only for our company, but for Fort Wayne’s defense industry as a whole.”
eXcellon Technologies was founded in 2001 as a manufacturer of sensors for industrial applications. The company entered the defense industry when it began creating wiring and cable for sonobuoys. eXcellon then began to create accessory products for ITT’s SINCGARS program, which is the most widely deployed and battle-tested combat net radio in the world.
“The recognition of eXcellon Technologies’ achievement is further evidence of the strength of our defense cluster in northeast Indiana,” said John Sampson president of the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership. “There is no question that our primary defense contractors and supplier networks are a cornerstone of the region’s economic vitality.”
