Pro Brand International, Inc., founded in 1983, has two major business divisions: ODM/OEM and Satellite Electronics Distribution. Our Distribution business is more well known to our customers with our own brand names such as SuperJack® and EagleAspen®. But our success has mainly grown out of our R&D and manufacturing capability which are essential requirements for our less known ODM/OEM business.
Our ODM/OEM business started from the very beginning of our company. In mid 80's,we landed our first multimillion-dollar contract with Scientific Atlanta's HomeSat Division by providing them the antenna positioning system which consisted of an automatic antenna positioner and a 26" actuator. Our second ODM/OEM contract is with the then General Instrument by designing and manufacturing a stereo processor for them; And our third such contract is with the then Houston Tracker System by providing them with the first generation of BlackJack.
During the last 18 years, we have taken on various ODM/OEM contracts with many other distinguished companies, such as NEC (America), Sony (America), EchoStar, DIRECTV, Hughes Network System, DIRECTV Latin America, Star Choice, Motorola, Norsat, Channel Master, KTI, Winegard, Uniden, Stanley Home Automation, Whistler and BelTronics just to name a few. As you can see it's a very diversified list of names not just confined to the satellite industry, even though we have concentrated our resources and expertise in the satellite market.
While Pro Brand's R&D labs and manufacturing facilities are all based in Taiwan and China, we also have an advanced R&D lab in Atlanta with capabilities in waveguide design, environmental testing, prototyping, automatic testing, engineering field verification, etc. For detailed equipment list and testing capability, please reference the "R&D" section of this website by clicking here . This lab is staffed with many experienced engineers and technicians. The engineering and technical department is actually the largest department of Pro Brand!
This is the cornerstone for our success in our ODM/OEM business as well as for our Satellite Distribution Business. Many ODM/OEM customers have sent their engineers to visit our Atlanta lab. Some of them have even utilize our Atlanta lab by paying a small fee. Our Asian subcontractors also sent their engineers to this lab to do product verification and field testing of new products.
