What Telamon does

Telamon Corporation is a privately held, family-owned (Chen family) provider of turn-key connectivity and connectivity-adjacent services, headquartered in Carmel, Indiana, with operations across the United States, Mexico, China, and France, and a workforce of 1,400+ employees. The company operates two principal divisions. The Telecom Solutions division delivers end-to-end network services — site development, engineering, distribution, installation and integration, construction, and monitor/maintain/repair — to US carriers (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile), telecom OEMs (Ciena, Cisco, Nokia), and enterprise clients across healthcare, retail, government, and public venues. Its competitive backbone is a nationwide network of security-protected warehouses holding $240M of customer on-hand inventory, a Whitestown, IN assembly center capable of staging 1,000,000 shelves and 6,500+ fully integrated 5G cabinets annually under its Deployment Ready™ service, a hot-staging QA process, and 200+ field EF&I technicians operating in 14+ markets for small cell installation.

The Industrial Solutions division designs and manufactures automotive-grade wire harnesses (with zero-defect standards for seatbelts, airbags, and sunroofs) for 30 global automotive OEMs, augmented by kitting, light assembly, and consumer-appliance wire harness work; in August 2023 Telamon divested its Automotive Kitting and Assembly Division to Kem Krest to narrow the portfolio. The business model is project-based, quote-priced B2B professional services and hardware integration, typically delivered under multi-year contracts with Tier-1 carriers and Fortune 500 OEMs. Telamon monetizes a growing set of adjacent offerings — Telamon Logistics (launched December 2023 for IoT supply chains), Telamon Energy Solutions, Reverse Logistics and Asset Monetization, and ITAD/Enterprise Solutions — and in January 2026 entered a strategic partnership with Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies to deploy low-carbon cement in French construction. Revenue is described as "nearly $1B" in the most recent disclosure (2023), and the company has been recognized as a US Best Managed Company every year from 2020 through 2026 (Platinum Honoree in 2026).
