About Us!

Founded in 1981, C.R. International began as a small engineering company providing communications and data processing equipment to federal customers. Equipment ranged from protocol adapters to specialized radio/telephone interface devices, and federal contracts included engineering services in the areas of secure voice/data, fiber optics, and portable communications equipment.

When the need for automated assembly equipment became apparent in the mid-1980s, CRI moved to a larger facility and invested in capital equipment to provide customers with more efficient production manufacturing. As a result of the increased manufacturing capabilities, CRI was able to secure business opportunities in the private sector, as well as providing “Build-to-Print” assembly and engineering services for large telecommunications companies.

Over the years, CRI has established a successful track record by providing technological solutions for complex challenges. Today, with diversity built into its revenue base, CRI is a modern, financially strong, and independently owned technology partner.
