History

[edit]
Syracuse Research Corporation Headquarters in Cicero, New York

Syracuse Research Corporation was founded in 1957, as a not-for-profit arm of Syracuse University.[1] The organization was formed to work on projects relative to America's national security. SRC provided Syracuse University's faculty with a vehicle to obtain grants and contracts, which could be used to pursue their research ideas. The company became an independent organization in the early 1970s.[2] In 2008, SRC officially changed its name from Syracuse Research Corporation to SRC, Inc.[3]

SRC's government research monies were exhausted in 1970–1971, and employment fell to about 150 employees within a year. In 1972, SRC spun off as a separate entity. The separation from the university was concluded in 1975.

For the next 20 years, SRC's employment fluctuated between 150 and 200. During this time, several high-tech businesses were spawned, including Anaren Microwave, Inc. and Leybold Inficon.[4] SRC continued to grow steadily throughout the 1990s.

In 2006, SRC created SRCTec, an ISO 9001-registered subsidiary [5] that provides manufacturing and logistics support for electronics systems.

SRC has offices in Colorado, Maine, Maryland, New York, Ohio, Texas and Virginia. SRC employs more than 1,100 people.[6]
