Global Manufacturer Opening Regional Headquarters In Wallingford

WALLINGFORD, CT — A global manufacturer is opening its regional headquarters in Wallingford, officials announced Wednesday. Arizona-based Radiall USA, Inc., has signed a lease for the entire building at 777 Northrop Road in Wallingford, according to Midwood Investment & Development, a vertically integrated investment, development and management firm based in New York.

Radiall USA, Inc., signed a 32,585-square-foot lease at the commercial property. With sales offices and subsidiaries throughout the world, the Wallingford location will serve as Radiall’s regional headquarters.

Established in 1952, Radiall USA, Inc., based in Tempe, Arizona, is a global manufacturer of leading-edge interconnect solutions. The company offers an “extensive range of RF coaxial connectors and cable assemblies, coaxial switches, fiber optic and microwave components, multipin connectors and more,” according to a news release. They have R&D teams in the United States, Europe and China, and manufacturing facilities in the United States, Mexico, India and China. Radiall, which is slated to open its new regional headquarters this summer, is relocating from New Haven.

“We are excited about becoming part of the Wallingford community and contributing to its local growth,” said Maite Tristan, president of Radiall USA. “We are confident that we will find the talent and expertise needed to grow our team and support our cutting-edge interconnect solutions.”

Radiall has 81 employees moving to the Wallingford office and is looking to expand, starting with engineers and operators, officials told Patch.

The space at 777 Northrop Road, which was built by Midwood in 1999, was previously occupied for 16 years by Webster Bank as back-office operations.

“For some time, we have observed companies following the workforce trends into major cities. However, there has been a shift to the suburban markets as older millennials move back to gain space and raise their families,” said John Usdan, CEO of Midwood Investment & Development. “We are now finding that companies are doing the same reverse migration and the opening of Radiall’s regional headquarters is a considerable addition to the area’s suburban office market.”

Brokers on the deal were David Barnes from CBRE who represented Midwood and James Pancyzkowski and John Stoddard from JLL who represented Radiall.
