CHATSWORTH, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - February 1, 2002 - Pacific Coast Cabling today announces the formation of the Pacific Coast Cabling Networking Division, a privately-held subsidiary of Pacific Coast Cabling, Inc. The Division will operate out of Pacific Coast Cabling's Chatsworth, Calif. headquarters.
Industry veterans Allen S. Horwitz and Del Willis, who have 50 years of combined experience in the data and telecommunications industry, will lead the subsidiary.
"This is a major step for us," said Dave Burr, president and CEO of Pacific Coast Cabling. "The Networking Division complements our core business of structured cabling so we can now offer the full gamut of communications solutions, including IP telephony, secure wireless LANs and optical Ethernet. With this unique combination of solutions, talent and strong management, Pacific Coast Cabling is clearly in a league of its own."
As vice president, Networking Division, Mr. Horwitz will be responsible for design and engineering. "Our mission is to provide technology solutions that truly enhance business value at the highest level - to solve real business problems - not just to implement technology for the sake of technology," he says.
