In a major expansion of its Indiana footprint, ITU Corporation has 
purchased the former Linton National Guard Armory to serve as the new 
manufacturing hub for Hy-gain and Cushcraft. By acquiring these 
legendary brands from MFJ Enterprises, ITU is centralizing production at 
the 15-acre Linton site. This new endeavor will bring between 20-50 new 
jobs to Linton.

Martin F. Jue, President and founder of MFJ Enterprises, Inc, is pleased 
to announce the sale of the renowned Hy-gain and Cushcraft antenna, 
rotator, and communication product lines to ITU Corporation, a 25 year 
old Indiana engineering and manufacturing company.

"I am thrilled to pass the torch of these legendary antenna brands to 
Dave & Kambi Carpenter and their team at ITU Corporation," said Martin 
F. Jue, President of MFJ Enterprises.

"After nurturing these brands for decades it was vital to me that 
hy-gain and Cushcraft - - premier brands that have served radio 
operators and stations worldwide for generations - - landed in the hands 
of someone who understands their legacy.”

"Dave, and the ITU team share our commitment to American-made quality 
and customer satisfaction. They bring the engineering expertise and 
manufacturing passion necessary to keep these products and these trusted 
American high-performance antennas on towers worldwide for years to come!"

Famous for their robust long lasting design and unparalleled superior 
performance, hy-gain and Cushcraft are the gold standard for antenna 
performance, gain, durability and offer a wide range of antennas, 
rotators, and accessories.

The designs, tooling, specialized equipment, manufacturing and marketing 
rights for hy-gain and Cushcraft antennas and rotators are included in 
the sale.
With this exciting announcement, the production of these trusted 
high-performance products marks a new chapter for the brands, combining 
their rich history with the expertise and dedication of the 
Indiana-based premier manufacturer.

This announcement includes ITU's purchase of the former Linton Indiana 
National Guard Armory facility at 2000 East Hwy 54 in Linton Indiana. 
Adding to it's current manufacturing and Corporate facilities located in 
Dugger Indiana.

"We are excited about the acquisition of the former 15 acre Armory 
facility in Linton as it offers a move-in-ready building that perfectly 
meets the needs of this operation" stated Dave Carpenter President of ITU.

"ITU is proud to add the "hy-gain" and "Cushcraft" brands to our 
existing portfolio including our award winning LearnLab and TekShack 
subsidiaries. The trust that Martin F Jue has placed in our team is 
appreciated and challenges us to to continue the legendary legacy that 
Martin and his team at MFJ has been so successful at!"

Dave also commented that this new Linton manufacturing operation will 
employ around 20 employees initially and up to 50 as the operation moves 
into full production. ITU is moving the entire manufacturing operation 
from it's current Starkville Mississippi facility to the new Linton 
location. The 500 mile move will take about two months to complete.
