History

Syracuse Research Corporation was founded in 1957, as a not-for-profit arm of Syracuse University. The organization was formed to work on projects relative to America's national security. SRC provided Syracuse University's faculty with a vehicle to obtain grants and contracts, which could be used to pursue their research ideas. The company became an independent organization in the early 1970s. In 2008, SRC officially changed its name from Syracuse Research Corporation to SRC, Inc. SRC's government research monies were exhausted in 1970–1971, and employment fell to about 150 employees within a year. In 1972, SRC spun off as a separate entity. The separation from the university was concluded in 1975. For the next 20 years, SRC's employment fluctuated between 150 and 200. During this time, several high-tech businesses were spawned, including Anaren Microwave, Inc. and Leybold Inficon. SRC continued to grow steadily throughout the 1990s. In 2006, SRC created SRCTec, an ISO 9001-registered subsidiary that provides
