About EdgeTech
EdgeTech (formerly a Division of EG&G) traces their history back to 1965, when they began operating as a Department of EG&G (Edgerton, Germeshausen & Grier), using the ideas and inventions of Dr. Harold E. Edgerton (Doc). This department consisted of two facilities in Massachusetts: product development in Bedford and product production in Brookline. Not long after this Department began functioning, EG&G decided to expand their involvement in the instrumentation market and acquired Geodyne Corporation (Marine Products) & Cambridge Systems (Atmospheric Products), creating the EG&G Environmental Equipment Division.
It was Doc, and his endless efforts to build better technological solutions to problems in imagery that inspired the EdgeTech name. EdgeTech was selected to honor Doc and represent a commitment to carrying on his tradition of remaining at the leading edge of technologies in the markets served.
Today, EdgeTech operates independently with two facilities in the United States and sales and service representatives around the world. EdgeTech provides highly reliable, state-of-the-art instruments, which allow customers to complete their tasks with one of the highest success rates in the industry. Out of their two facilities in Massachusetts and Florida, EdgeTech designs, produces and markets products in two divisions: marine and moisture instruments with the following product line focus:
- Sonar Products and Systems for underwater, seafloor and object imaging and sub-bottom profiling
- Communication and Control Products to locate, position, communicate and activate/control devices underwater
- Special Products to address customer’s special underwater applications using acoustic technology
- Moisture and Humidity Systems for applications that require highly reliable measurements of dew point and humidity in gases with a high degree of accuracy (NIST traceable)
EdgeTech is known for providing highly reliable products that perform in extreme conditions. Not to be out done by the "Marine" side of the business, Moisture & Humidity Products are in place at dynamometer test facilities at Ford, GM and Chrysler, NOAA hurricane hunter aircraft, clean rooms at Intel, Digital Equipment Corporation, Texas Instruments and furnaces at Bethlehem Steel. EdgeTech's moisture & humidity sensors are also included in thousands of other applications where accurate, reliable measurements of humidity are required, including The Sistine Chapel, the NASA Space Shuttle and MIR Space Station.
