BALTIMORE, Sept. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Sinclair
Broadcast Group (NASDAQ: SBGI) is pleased to announce its
wholly owned subsidiary Dielectric, a leading provider of
innovative broadcast products, was named one of 2019's Best
Places to Work in Maine by the
Society for Human Resource Management of Maine and Best Companies Group.
The annual survey and awards program was designed to identify
and honor companies that have consistently fostered outstanding
workplace environments, ultimately benefiting the state's workforce
and economy. The 2019 list is made up of 100 companies, with
Dielectric recognized in the medium size (50-249 employees)
category.
"We are truly honored and proud that Dielectric has been named
as a best place to work. It is a direct reflection of the talented,
hardworking employees and dedicated leadership team," said
Keith Pelletier, vice president and
GM of Dielectric. "This prestigious award will benefit Dielectric
with future recruitment activities, help with sales initiatives,
further enhance morale and strengthen the positive company
culture."
With roots dating to 1942, Dielectric helped pioneer the
broadcast age and has earned a reputation for offering the world's
most sophisticated antenna and signal-transmission solutions. As an
industry leader, Dielectric is committed to serving the needs of
U.S. broadcasters participating in the multi-year FCC
spectrum-reallocation program, the TV Channel Repack, in addition
to supporting deployments of the new ATSC 3.0 standard and
continuing to supply products built in Maine to global broadcast and scientific
markets. Since opening its new facility in Lewiston, Maine, less than two years ago,
Dielectric has increased its workforce – including engineers
critical to the company growth – as it seeks new solutions for the
industry.
The rankings of the winners will be revealed at an event on
October 2, then published in a
special supplement of MaineBIZ.
