General Digital Corporation

Founded in 1973 by Dr. Leonard Lazar and Dr. Russell Reiss, General Digital was born in Len’s living room. As word got around at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where they taught, many enlisted the exceptional engineering prowess of Len and Russ. Soon, with a small facility in East Hartford, Connecticut, they were providing custom electronic production runs and software engineering services. Both sides of the business quickly grew and evolved, serving all manner of U.S. industries and armed forces before expanding globally.
