John Ratigan, interim CEO of Comtech, said “Chandler has established itself as a leading technology corridor in the United States. We are thrilled to expand our footprint in Arizona and excited to benefit from the City of Chandler’s continued commitment to innovation. This strategic move marks a significant milestone for the Company, and our new headquarters will play a central role in helping Comtech deliver new resilient, network agnostic, software-defined communications capabilities to some of the world’s most demanding customers, including the Department of Defense (“DoD”).”
To mark the achievement, the company hosted a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony with Arizona Governor, Katie Hobbs; Chandler Mayor, Kevin Hartke; and other Arizona business and community leaders.
Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs commented, “Today marks a momentous day for Arizona as we welcome Comtech, a leading global technology company, to its new home in Chandler. Comtech’s Chandler headquarters will bring enhanced economic growth opportunities and highlights Arizona’s attractive business environment and reputation as a top hub for innovation and technology. We are proud to support Comtech in their new chapter and look forward to supporting Comtech’s success in Arizona.”
