Electronic Equipment Company (EE) was founded in 1954 by Harry Shupack and Phillip Radell. Mr. Shupack was also the founder of Electronic Equipment Company in New York, which originated in 1926. Phil Radell grew up in the early "radio days" of the industry. He was extremely interested in electronics as he saw the potential for growth in what were then "new" technologies. Phil was responsible for wiring and installing one of the first Public Address Systems in New York City schools while he was still a Technical High School student. Eventually, he founded Bristol Radio, a radio repair shop in Brooklyn, N.Y.

During World War II, Phil acted as the Electrical Foreman at Marine Electric Company in New York City. During this time he installed early radar systems on everything from Naval Destroyers to the Staten Island Ferry. He also did extensive work on electrical panels and systems of many different kinds of ships. This work involved converting civilian ships to military status, and the reverse when the war had ended.

After the war, Phil became involved with every aspect of commercial and industrial electronics. While working in Florida he saw a potential market that was not being served. Phil's son George joined the company in 1955 on a part-time basis while attending the University of Miami, and later became a full-time member of the company.

Originally, EE's primary customers were airlines located at the Miami International Airport Depot (MIAD) such as Eastern, National, and Pan American Airlines. It wasn't long before the company became involved with the newly developing OEM businesses in the area. EE sustained its growth through all types of economic conditions on the underlying philosophy and policy of topnotch service to all levels of customers.

As the Industry and markets have evolved, so too has our company. Electronic Equipment is now a focused distributor of semiconductor products. Continuing its policy of straight answers and rapid response, it has become the company counted on by the worlds largest O.E.M.'s and C.E.M.'s for both scheduled and spot supply. We still believe, as our founder Phil Radell did, that Customer Service is Everything. Our history and reputation as a market leader, our strong orientation toward "absolute customer service", and our leanly structured responsive organization, have created an company that is clearly the leader for electronics requirements fulfillment. We look forward to our relationship with your company and appreciate your interest in ours.

Sincerely,

Electronic Equipment Company, Inc.
