 Lake Shore Cryotronics, Inc. is a privately held corporation which has been an international leader in the development of innovative measurement and control technologies since 1968. The company philosophy has been to continue to reinvest in itself with a research and development budget that is 100 percent above the national average for instrumentation companies.
The company's growth has been primarily achieved by supplying the needs of scientists and researchers studying the physical properties of metals and ceramics at very low temperatures. Within the past decade, Lake Shore's staff of physicists, material scientists, and engineers have expanded the line of cryogenic temperature sensors and instrumentation to include instrumentation and systems for studying magnetic properties of materials. The magnetic measurement product group includes a complete line of benchtop and handheld gaussmeters and Hall probes, vibrating sample magnetometers, electromagnets, magnet power supplies, and Hall generators.

| Lake Shore is constantly seeking new markets for present technology and acquiring new ideas and patents by license, purchase or informal associations. The company holds several of its own proprietary technologies. Over the years, Lake Shore has received five "IR-100" awards, demonstrating our successes as this award recognizes research and development projects which have been successfully brought to the market place. Honeywell, General Electric, Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing, and Hewlett-Packard are among the competitors for this recognition. |
| |
| Today, Lake Shore's influence extends far beyond the borders of the United States. The company has been honored by Ohio with the state Excellence in Exporting Award for successfully meeting the challenges of developing overseas markets. Lake Shore has built an international distributor and representative network which extends throughout North and South America, the United Kingdom, Europe, India, Japan, China, Taiwan, and Korea. |
