Headquartered

Ltd., a premier worldwide supplier of microwave components
& contract manufacturing services, has a legacy
of serving the defense, telecommunications, and medical
industries for over 30 years. The company's

M2 Global specializes in applying advanced ferrite technologies
to provide high-performance radio frequency (RF) microwave
components in standard and custom configurations for
coaxial, wave-guide, and drop-in circulators and isolators. In
addition, the company designs and manufactures diplexers,
filters, wave-guide assemblies, and machined housings. M2
Global also manufactures a wide variety of products
as a value-added contract manufacturing supplier specializing
in prototyping, quick-turn service through full-rate
production requirements.
Prior to its spin-off as a separate company in 1999,
M2 Global Technology was part of Harris Corporation
Microwave Communications Division (MCD), formerly Farinon
Division. Harris MCD was a worldwide supplier
on complex point-to-point microwave communication systems.
The ferrite operation was founded in the early 1950s
as Webb Ferrites by Bob Webb, an engineer and designer. In
1977 he sold the business to Farinon Electric, a microwave
radio equipment manufacturer. Owner Bill
Farinon wanted better integration of the supply chain
for enhanced quality control and increased flexibility
for technology changes. Although the ferrite
operation was acquired primarily to serve Farinon Electric,
its management was given the freedom to pursue growing
the business independently, and began working on outside
sales almost immediately. New ferrite designs
were introduced, sales increased, and by 1980, the outside
sales exceeded inside sales. Since that point,
the RF component business unit has grown to be one of
the world’s foremost suppliers of RF passive components.
In 1981, Harris Corporation purchased Farinon Electric
and created the Harris Farinon Division. As
part of Harris Farinon, the RF passive component business
unit continued to expand its global presence. In
September 1999, this business unit was sold to a group
of former Harris managers and engineers, who formed
M2 Global Inc. and a limited partnership M2 Global Technology,
Ltd.
M2 Global is veteran owned, ISO 9001 registered and
compliant with U.S. Government standard MIL-I-45208. Headquartered
in San Antonio, Texas, with sales offices around the
world and manufacturing operations in San Antonio and
northern Mexico, it is well positioned to service its
global markets.
