Quintech Establishes R&D Center in Harmer

Quintech Electronics and Communications, Inc., an Indiana-based manufacturer of radio frequency signal management and matrix-switching equipment for the broadcasting and communications industry, announced that is has established a research and development office at the UPARC campus in Harmer.

The purpose of the new office will be to move the company’s R&D activities closer to engineering and technological talent available in the greater Pittsburgh area. The company is looking to expand relationships with educational institutions such as the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University, Penn State New Kensington and Indiana University of Pennsylvania, North Point Campus.

“While we are pleased with our present locations for production and basic engineering operations, we felt the need to move closer to the Pittsburgh area,” said Daniel Prushnok, President and CEO of the electronics company. “The growth of the Internet and the sudden increase in content distribution technologies has made Quintech a collaborative RF solutions provider to the telecommunications industry.”

“In order to facilitate the collaborative engineering and training necessary to develop cutting edge RF products global customers will demand, Quintech needs to reach out to the intellectual capital resources in requires and attract new and diverse engineering talent from the Pittsburgh market.”

Prushnok said Quintech occupied space in September of 2007 and has committed significant R&D investments to establish what he envisions will be a collaborative RF center of engineering excellence that will attract other communications and related high technology businesses to the region.
