Will Google-Owned Motorola Home Remain in Horsham?
Google has not disclosed its plans for the township's Motorola operation.
Following of Motorola Mobility - a sale that concluded this week - the Internet giant is keeping mum on whether Horsham will remain headquarters for the cell phone maker's Horsham video equipment factory, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The Horsham plant, Motorola Home, nets about one-third of the company's annual sales and employs several hundred people. In all, Illinois-based Motorola employs 20,000 workers at its factories.
The Horsham site became part of Motorola when it took over the former General Instruments, a descendant of Jerrold Electronics, the post WWII cable TV equipment and finance business founded by Milton Jerrold Shapp.
