The Making of a Name – The Motorola Story at a Glance
Motorola is one of the world leaders in electronic systems and wireless communications. It was founded as the Galvin Manufacturing Corporation by brothers Paul and Joseph Galvin in 1928 in Chicago. Its modern brand name was first introduced in a low-cost automobile radio in 1930. The company soon branched out into manufacturing home radios, phonographs, police transmitters and receivers, two-way radios and, in 1947, its first television set.
