About Cortelco
Cortelco can trace its roots back to the Kellogg Switchboard and Supply Company which began operations in 1897 near Chicago, Illinois. The company prospered as one of the pioneers in the mass production of telecommunications equipment. In 1952, the Kellogg Switchboard and Supply Company became a division of the International Telephone and Telegraph (ITT) Corporation.
During the 1960's and 1970's the business name of the company changed several times and its affiliation with various other ITT manufacturing and sales organizations underwent various changes. These changes had very little impact on the day-to-day operations of the ITT Telecommunications facility located in Corinth, Mississippi.
During the 80's the Corinth facility was part of a joint venture agreement between ITT Corporation and CGE, transferring the majority of ownership to the newly-formed Alcatel, N.V., the world's largest telecommunications manufacturer. Shortly after this merger, a new vision was set forth with our new company name (Cortelco) - an acronym for Corinth Telecommunications Corporation.
In July 1990, Alcatel sold Cortelco to an entrepreneur, former ITT executive, David S. Lee. Cortelco reorganized and continued with the quality and innovation that our founding company began over 100 years ago.
With such a prestigious lineage as Kellogg, ITT and Alcatel N.V., Cortelco's telecommunications products are an evolution of quality and technology, characteristic of our one hundred year plus history.
