History
ETS-Lindgren began in 1995 when 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 developed RF 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 purchased the company Euroshield OY, best known for developing “pan-type” RF shielding and an RF shielded door technology.
The acquisition of Lindgren RF Enclosures, a manufacturer of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shield rooms in 2000, doubled the size of the company. An office was established in Singapore several years earlier. After the acquisition, the company name was changed to ETS-Lindgren.
Holaday Industries was also acquired in 2000. The company developed technology used in 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.[1]
Japanese and Chinese acquisitions were made during 2002, and customer support offices were subsequently added in Beijing, Shenzhen, and Shanghai.
In 2006 ETS-Lindgren opened a new office in Taiwan. During the same year, the company announced a 4,180 square-meter (45,000 square-foot) expansion to its Cedar Park, Texas facility.
A new office was opened in Bangalore, India during 2010, to provide technical support, project management, installation and systems integration services.
ETS-Lindgren opened an office in Taufkirchen (bei München), Germany, in 2011.[2]
