Harold Hamilton founded Micro Control Company in 1972 as a manufacturer of test equipment for the electronics industry. The microprocessor-controlled test system produced in 1973 was the first in the industry. Today, the tradition continues with Micro Control's high-power burn-in and test systems which are being shipped to customers throughout the world. The current product line includes high-power burn-in systems for memory and logic applications, automatic test equipment and supplemental equipment testing.
