Vertex is a brand of two way radios that are recognized the world over for their exceedingly high level of quality in the radios that they manufacture. Vortex specializes in commercial style two way radios that contain the features that are most commonly required in a business environment.
Vertex Standard Co. Ltd. was originally known as “Standard Brand Radio Equipment”, which was based out of Marants, Japan up until the year 1998. That was the year that the company was acquired by Yaesu Musen, which up until the acquisition was a competing Japanese radio equipment manufacturer.
They have continued to this day to build onto their reputation for producing a wide range of styles of sturdy, reliable two way radios that have been the first choice for security and law enforcement agencies around the globe for decades.
One recent event that has shone a light on Vertex Standard Co. Ltd in the business community, is the recent announcement in 2007 by Motorola Corp of the companies intentions to acquire 80% of the company. The deal was eventually finalized in 2008 and it has another company by the name of Tokogikan holding the remaining 20% of Vertex in a joint venture.
People and agencies that have grown accustomed to the high level of quality and service that Vertex has been consistently recognized for, can expect that there will be no changes in company policies. What they can expect however; is an expanding of the product line to include a line of lighter less feature laden radios targeted towards a growing public demand.
One of the driving forces for this new directional change is an increasing consumer demand in China and India for the types of consumer electronics components that Vortex and Motorola offer. It is the hopes that by combining all three of these radio manufacturer's resources they will be better equipped to thrive in the burgeoning and highly competitive Chinese markets.
