- Share via
In a reorganization of Rockwell International Inc., the giant company’s Microelectronics Technology Center in Newbury Park has become part of Rockwell’s telecommunications arm.
No changes in personnel or operations are expected in Newbury Park, the announcement said.
The microelectronics unit produces gallium arsenide computer chips, an alternative to the more commonly used silicon chips.
Under the realignment, the Newbury Park unit will join Rockwell’s Digital Communications Division, based in Newport Beach, under the telecommunications banner. Dwight W. Decker, formerly vice president and general manager of Digital, has been named president of the telecommunications unit.
Rockwell has been switching its emphasis in recent years from military to commercial products. The company is based in Seal Beach.
