Electronic Engineering Co. has been selling Motorola products for more than 50 years, including mobiles, hand-held units, consoles and accessories. Up until about a year ago, before Motorola moved its shipping operation out of Mount Pleasant, they even received some of their products directly from the local manufacturer. Consoles are used for public safety and in police and fire stations, he said. Mobiles and hand-held units are sold to individuals, businesses and factories, and for agricultural users such as farmers and feed dealers. Peterson reported business has been brisk as more businesses acquire radios and as the clientele updates and adds to its inventory.
People invest in a radio system and they want to keep it and add to it.
In the future, he foresees a growing demand for his products. Electronic Engineering currently services businesses with a minimum of two or three radios and a maximum of 200 to 300 units. We're trying to do a better job of taking care of our customers. Besides radios, Electronic Engineering Co. also sells pagers, U.S. Cellular and Motorola cell phones, and video surveillance equipment. For radio customers who don't want to invest in the cost of putting up their own tower, Peterson rents space on two, 330-foot towers located in Mount Pleasant and Burlington.
