Acquiring Minds Want To Know... Codan Ltd. + Locus Microwave


CODAN logo Codan Limited has announced a strategic expansion of its satellite communications business, acquiring Pennsylvania-based Locus Microwave Incorporated.

Locus is a specialist microwave technology company based in State College Pennsylvania, primarily focused on the design, manufacture and supply of microwave radio products for satellite communications. Under Codan’s ownership, Locus will remain a U.S.-based business with design, manufacturing, and sales led by the Company’s founders and current Executive Team: Jim Dixon, Gary McGovern, and Dana Wilt. This acquisition will enable Codan to establish closer contact with the North American satellite market with the addition of Locus’ product development and manufacturing base. The Locus founders each have more than 25 years’ experience in the design, supply, and sale of high performance and custom microwave and radio frequency (“RF”) products.
