[edit] History
ETS-Lindgren began in 1995 when industry leaders EMCO, Rantec, and Ray Proof combined their resources to create EMC Test Systems. Ray Proof started as a supplier of medical X-ray shielding in 1932. Rantec led in the development of anechoic absorber and microwave chambers for the military during the early 1970s. EMCO (The Electro-Mechanics Company) formed as an outgrowth of magnetic field and radio frequency research in the 1960s.
In 1997, EMC Test Systems established a European presence with the purchase of Euroshield OY. The company is best known for developing “pan-type” RF shielding and a unique shielded door technology. The acquisition of Lindgren RF Enclosures in 2000 doubled the size of the company and gave it immediate leadership in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shield rooms. In addition, it also provided an Asian presence through Singapore established several years earlier. After the acquisition, the company name was changed to ETS-Lindgren.
Holaday Industries was also acquired in 2000. The company pioneered technology used in today’s electromagnetic field sensing (EMF) systems for test and measurement, and health and safety applications.
In 2002, ETS-Lindgren purchased Acoustic Systems, a supplier for acoustic test and measurement, audiology, and broadcast applications.
Japanese and Chinese acquisitions made during 2002 provided new manufacturing capability in Asia. Since then, additional customer support offices have been added in Beijing, Shenzhen, and Shanghai. In 2006, ETS-Lindgren opened a new office in Taiwan to serve the growing customer base in that country.
Headquartered in Cedar Park, Texas, ETS-Lindgren employs more than 750 professionals in offices and manufacturing facilities around the world. They are supported by a team of more than 200 local, independent representatives and distributors.
