As the former Electron Device Business of Varian Associates, Inc., Communications & Power Industries LLC (CPI) has a long heritage of technological and product excellence. In 1948, Russell H. Varian and Sigurd F. Varian, the historical founders of CPI’s business, founded Varian Associates and introduced the klystron as its first commercial product. Varian Associates was incorporated in California on April 20, 1948, with the stated purpose to “conduct general research in the fields of physical science of every kind or nature.” At the time, Varian Associates had $22,000 of capital and six full-time employees, receiving technical and business assistance from several members of the faculty at nearby Stanford University.
