A Brief History of the Midland Company

The Midland Radio Corporation is a US-based manufacturer of radio equipment that began operating in the 1960s as an affiliate of a company called CTE International. By the 1970s, Midland had established itself as a popular manufacturer of household electronics and citizen band (CB) radios. Over time, Midland shifted from manufacturing both household electronics and radio gear to focus on producing high-quality walkie talkies, weather alert radios, bluetooth intercom systems, CB radios, and wearable action cameras.

Midland ships and sells its products all over the world. In addition, the company has affiliates in the UK, Germany, Spain, Russia, Italy, Bulgaria, and in Latin America. According to Midland's LinkedIn page, it has between 51 and 200 employees most of whom work at the company's Kansas, Missouri headquarters.
