Roanwell enhances product line with handset purchase

Roanwell Corporation, est. 1948, a leading designer and manufacturer of rugged communications equipment, today announced the purchase of Star Dynamic Corporation's H-207, H-250, and H-350 Handset product lines and operations. Roanwell intends to manufacture the handsets at its Bronx, NY facility. The handsets will be offered under the Roanwell brand.

The H-207, H-250, and H-350 Microphone-Receiver Handsets are used for tactical field communications requirements. The rugged construction is designed and manufactured to meet US Military Specifications and is normally utilized with Military Man-Pack Radio Equipment, such as the AN/PRC-70 and AN/PRC-77.

Roanwell Corporation specializes in manufacturing headsets, handsets, microphones, earphones, cords, harnesses, and accessories for military and commercial communications. The acquisition of the Handset product lines continue Roanwell's expansion and growth. Other recent growth includes the September 30, 2010, acquisition of the assets of Paramount Cords & Brackets, Inc., www.paramountcords.com, a New York-based manufacturer of low voltage connectors, sync cords, cables, custom connectors and brackets. Paramount has been a leading provider of professional photographic equipment, as well as medical & audio cables, cord sets and custom connectors for more than 50 years. With this initial acquisition, management is now focused on building a diversified manufacturing group, through both organic and acquisition growth initiatives that are expected to complement and diversify existing business lines. The Company's acquisition program is focused on building a diversified manufacturing company providing engineered products and solutions for global niche markets.

"We are very excited about broadening our handset product offerings, especially with one of the most active handset product lines used in today's military," Roanwell CEO Barbara LaBarre said. "With the addition of our recent acquisition of Paramount Cords & Brackets and the H207, H250, and H350 handset product lines, Roanwell continues to seamlessly integrate a wide range of communication devices and peripherals, providing reliable solutions for today's communication systems."

Roanwell is dedicated to provide the highest level of performance through quality design, manufacturing and world-class service and support. Roanwell is committed to delivering Star Dynamic Corporation's customers with the same excellent service. "Our goal is to make the integration of the Handset product lines to Roanwell ownership a positive transition for all customers," LaBarre said.
