Manassas electronics manufacturer buys N.Y. company

Manassas-based radio frequency (RF) and microwave product manufacturer Mu-Del Electronics LLC (an Ironwave Technologies company) announced Tuesday it has acquired Floral Park, New York-based RF product manufacturing company Luff Research. 

A transaction amount was not disclosed. 

“With this acquisition, Mu-Del will be able to enhance Luff’s manufacturing quality and volume, thus offering superior products to the marketplace, while gaining additional market share,” Mu-Del Electronics CEO Sami Antrazi said in a statement.

Founded in 1980, Luff Research manufactures high-performance RF oscillators and synthesizers, while Mu-Del Electronics designs and manufactures RF and microwave subsystems and components for national defense purposes.

“We are excited to join Mu-Del Electronics, as their approach to product development and customer support, along with their critical mass and strong business acumen, enables the business growth of our current, and future, customers — which our customers are requesting,” Luff Research President Greta Gorder said in a statement. 

Mu-Del Electronics products are used for intelligence collection, telemetry, radar signal processing and communication in airborne, ground-based and naval settings.

“The combined engineering and product offerings of our American based companies will allow us to expand our product offering to our current and future clients,” Jim Guinaw, Mu-Del Electronics executive vice president of sales, said in a statement.
