Montrose/CDT, Cable Design Technologies

Montrose/CDT began operations in late stages of World War II with a commission from the government to manufacture field wire for military communications. At the end of the war with the initial two extruders the new company focused it's capability in the commercial markets. Targeting the brown goods industry, Montrose became a major a supplier to radio and TV manufacturers such as Magnavox, Motorola, RCA, Zenith and Admiral. Manufacturing discrete wires and harnesses for radio chassis and flyback transformers, Montrose remained a major supplier to this market through the late 70s until the OEM manufacturers had moved offshore. Still today Montrose/CDT manufactures high quality discrete wires for leading high technology OEM customers.

Even before the exit of the radio and TV industry, Montrose had evolved into the higher technology computer industry. In the late 1950s Montrose became a major supplier to cable assembly companies servicing Univac for their Illiac computer, and General Time later to become IBM. Montrose's ability to supply volume discrete insulated wires and to quickly react to customers requirements with design, development and manufacture of products has led to a reputation of outstanding customer service which continues to this day.
