A technology is developed
	In the late 1970s, MAMAC Systems’ visionary founder recognized that microprocessors would revolutionize industrial and environmental control systems. Starting with personal savings of under $15,000, our founder went to work as MAMAC Systems’ sole employee. By the mid 1980s, MAMAC Systems was developing, manufacturing, and distributing a complete line of 100% solid-state, reliable, affordable, and precise sensors that are compatible with all automated control systems.
	A complete product line for the industry
	Honeywell, Trane, and Lennox are just a few of the OEMs that depend on MAMAC Systems’ products. Other distinguished customers include Lockheed Martin, IBM, Hewlett Packard, Merck, DuPont, Intel, Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors. This cross-industry showing of customers reflects the broad application of MAMAC Systems’ sensors. For example, MAMAC’s pressure sensors are used to pressurize clean rooms and hospital operating rooms. Low pressure sensors have kept the air-supported dome of Minneapolis’ Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome inflated since 1982. High pressure sensors measure steam pressure and control air-conditioning compressors, refrigeration systems, and tank levels. Humidity sensors allow hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and electronics manufacturers to monitor and control harmful moisture.
	Research and development
	By the early 1990s, MAMAC Systems was using MEMS technology to manufacture extremely small sensors and transducers. In the mid 1990s, MAMAC Systems pioneered technologies to micro-machine silicon capacitative pressure sensors and bulk-polymer humidity sensors.  All of MAMAC Systems’ processes are performed in-house and include silicon wet etching with chemicals; plasma dry etching; photolithography; low pressure and chemical vapor deposition; anodic, electrostatic, and eutectic bonding; wafer dicing; die attaching; wire bonding; and testing and calibration. Because of its contributions to the semiconductor industry, MAMAC Systems is now recognized as the world leader in micro-machined silicon sensors.
