Shively Labs announces manufacturing partnership with IDEAL Antenas of Brazil

Shively Labs®, a division of Howell Laboratories, Inc. has partnered with Brazilian RF products manufacturer Ideal Indústria e Comércio de Antenas LTDA (“IDEAL”) to provide high power FM antenna systems that complement IDEAL’s current product portfolio. IDEAL is a market leader within Brazil and Latin America in the design, installation and maintenance of FM and TV RF systems.

In return, IDEAL will provide sales support and service on Shively’s products within Brazil and Mercosur as well as manufacturing capabilities. Shively will continue to provide coverage optimization studies for all antenna designs.

To provide IDEAL’s staff with detailed knowledge and understanding of Shively’s high power FM antenna products, Shively will provide extensive training both in Maine, USA and also at IDEAL’s facility in Pouso Alegre, MG, Brazil.

Shively and IDEAL look forward to working together to ensure that our customers experience the best products at the best prices, and at the quality they expect. Martyn Gregory, Vice President, Shively, commented “For years Shively has been heavily committed to the Brazilian market, and in seeking a partner to manufacture locally and to provide customer support, IDEAL Antenas became the obvious choice. Through this partnership we will be able to offer our Brazilian customers a more immediate response and the confidence that the product they are buying is designed and manufactured to Shively’s standards by a well-respected Brazilian company with equally high standards.”

Mário Evaristo B. Vilela, Director, IDEAL, commented, “IDEAL is pleased to partner with Shively Labs for manufacture of high-power antennas in Brazil. We are sure that our many years of manufacturing in Brazil and sales throughout Latin America will ensure a successful partnership between our two companies.”
