History

[edit]

Radisys was founded in 1987 as Radix Microsystems in Beaverton, Oregon, by former Intel engineers Dave Budde and Glen Myers.[8][9][10] The first investors were employees who put up $50,000 each, with Tektronix later investing additional funds into the company.[10] Originally located in space leased from Sequent Computer Systems, by 1994 the company had grown to annual sales of $20 million.[11] The company's products were computers used in end products such as automated teller machines to paint mixers.[10] On October 20, 1995, the company became a publicly traded company when it held an initial public offering (IPO).[12] The IPO raised $19.6 million for Radisys after selling 2.7 million shares at $12 per share.[12]

In 1996, the company moved its headquarters to a new campus in Hillsboro, and at that time sales reached $80 million and the company had a profit of $9.6 million that year with 175 employees.[10][13] Company co-founder Dave Budde left the company in 1997, with company revenues at $81 million annually at that time.[14] The company grew in part by acquisitions such as Sonitech International in 1997,[15] part of IBM's Open Computing Platform unit[16] and Texas Micro in 1999,[17] all of S-Link in 2001,[18] and Microware also in 2001.[19] Radisys also moved some production to China in order to take advantage of the lower manufacturing costs.[20]

In 2002, the company had grown to annual revenues of $200 million, and posted a profit in the fourth quarter for the first time in several quarters.[21] That year Scott Grout was named as chief executive officer of the company and C. Scott Gibson became the chairman of the board,[22] both replacing Glen Myers who co-founded the company.[23] The company sold off its signaling gateway line in 2003.[24]

They raised $97 million through selling convertible senior notes in November 2003.[25] In 2004, the company stopped granting stock options to employees and transitioned to giving restricted shares for some compensation.[26] Radisys grew to annual revenues of $320 million by 2005.[27] The company continued to grow through acquisitions such as a $105 million deal that added Convedia Corp. in 2006.[28][29] Radisys continued buying assets when it purchased part of Intel's communications business for about $30 million in 2007.[30] After five-straight quarterly losses, the company posted a profit of $481,000 in their 2009 fourth quarter.[31]

In May 2011, the company announced they were buying Continuous Computing for $105 million in stock and cash.[32] Once the transaction was completed in July 2011, Continuous' CEO Mike Dagenais became the CEO of Radisys.[32][33][34] Dagenais left the company in October 2012 with former CFO Brian Bronson taking over as CEO.[33] In 2018, Reliance Industries acquired Radisys.[35] Arun Bhikshesvaran took over as CEO in July 2019.[36]
