Both firms are located in Sturbridge,Massachusetts.  \nThe new company has moved into its permanent 11.000-sq.-ft,headquarters and manufac-turing facilities on 13 acres of 1and and has set up a second shift.  \nSpecTran,which wil1 specialize in low-1oss fibers of hard-clad silica for communica-tions applications,has found initial customers among terminal manufacturers and militaryand_nuclear energy industries in which radiation-resistant fibers are important,accordingto Charles De Luca,vice president for marketing and sales.  \nDe Luca,formerly a marketing manager and eastern regional sales manager for Galileo,joins 2 other former Galileo executives in forming SpecTran's top management:Raymond E.Jaeger,president and former Galileo vice president of corporate research and development;and Mohad A.Aslami,vice president for manufacturing and engineering and former managerof engineering aad manufacturing of communications fiber at Galileo.  \nNew York investment banking firm,DeLuca told FIBER/LASER NEWS 1ast week.He would notdisclose the amount,but said it is adequate for staffing and buying production equipmentslated for purchase in the company's expansion plans.(SpecTran Corp.,Hall Rd.,Stur-bridge,MA 01566,617/347-2261.)  \n# …AS U.S.SUBSIDIARY OF PIRELLI ACQUIRES GALILEO's GALITE SUBSIDIARY\n\nGalileo,meanwhile,has sold Galite Inc.,its manufacturer of optical communicationscable in Wallingford,Connecticut,to Pirelli Cable Corp.for an undisclosed sum.PirelliCable is the Union,New Jersey,subsidiary of Societe Internationale Pirelli SA,Basel,Switzerland,and a major producer of electrical wire and cable.  \nGalite,which employs about 90 people at the Wallingford plant,manufactures high-temperature wire,instrumentation wiring and control cable for the aerospace,electronicsand process control industries.These products are expected to complement those ofPirelli Cable Corp.'s Special Cable Division.The transaction represents Pirelli Cable'sfirst venture in the optical fiber field.  \nThe sale was the second divestiture from Galileo's Industrial Electronic ProductsGroup.It followed the recent closing of the high-voltage diode plant in Wanamassa,NewJersey,that produced parts for night vision power supplies.The group still has a high-voltage power supply facility in Sturbridge.  \nGalileo President John White recently told the Sturbridge News that the divestitureswere part of a planned exit from the fiber optic business.\"Companies larger than Galileocan afford to gamble large sums of money,\"he said.\"Telecommunications is a high-riskpoker game.\"Pirelli Cable has plants in Allendale,New Jersey;Elkton,Maryland;Colusa,California;Abbeville,South Carolina;and Hot Springs,Arkansas.(Pirelli Cable Corp.,800 Rahway Ave.,Union,NJ 07083,201/687-0250;Galite Inc.,2 Tower Dr.,PO Box 50,Wallingford,CT 06492,203/265-7126.)  \n# LASER FIRMS MAY PARTICIPATE IN 'STEALTHAIRCRAFT'STUDIES BY AIR FORCE\n\nThe Air Force is seeking research and developmentsources to support its program for reducing the visibil-ity of aircraft.Known as Program PMRE 82-79 and pre-sumably connected to the \"stealth aircraft\"disclosed  \n                                                             The winning contractor will prepare samples,subassemblies and scale models for crosssection measurement;repair and build specialized equipment;and obtain laser radar crosssect","cbCaigmx8DZAm5pc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigmx8DZAm5pc","pdf",2886537,"English","# SPECTRAN EXPANDS SPECIALTY FIBER AND CABLE PRODUCTION UNDER EX-GALILEO TEAM\n# AS U.S. SUBSIDIARY OF PIRELLI ACQUIRES GALILEO'S GALITE SUBSIDIARY\n# LASER FIRMS MAY PARTICIPATE IN 'STEALTH AIRCRAFT' STUDIES BY AIR FORCE\n## DEFENSE DEPARTMENT FIBER OPTIC AND LASER CONTRACTS: Army\n## FIBER/LASER BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES","[{\"question\":\"What expansion did SpecTran announce after forming from Galileo Electro-Optics?\",\"answer\":\"SpecTran initiated a first series of planned expansions to produce specialty fiber and cable products, setting up permanent headquarters and manufacturing facilities and adding a second shift.\"},{\"question\":\"Why did Galileo divest Galite, and who acquired it?\",\"answer\":\"Galileo sold Galite Inc. to Pirelli Cable Corp., and the move followed a planned exit from the fiber optic business, described as part of a high-risk portfolio strategy.\"},{\"question\":\"What role are laser firms expected to play in the Air Force stealth-aircraft visibility reduction program?\",\"answer\":\"Interested contractors prepare samples, subassemblies, and scale models for cross-section measurements, repair and build specialized equipment, and obtain laser radar cross-section experimental data.\"}]","The Biweekly Report on Fiber Optics and Laser Technology - Biweekly | PDF",1790694730,23]
