and radio frequency
research in the 1960s.
In 1997, EMC Test Systems established a European presence with the purchase of Euroshield OY. The company is best known for developing “pan-type” RF shielding and a unique RF shielded door technology.
The acquisition of Lindgren RF Enclosures in 2000 doubled the size of the company and gave it immediate leadership in magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) shield rooms. In addition, it also provided an Asian presence through an office 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 pioneered technology used in today’s 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.
Japanese and Chinese acquisitions made during 2002 provided new manufacturing capability in Asia. Since then, additional customer support offices have been added in Beijing, Shenzhen, and Shanghai.
In 2006, ETS-Lindgren opened a new office in Taiwan to serve the growing customer base in that country. 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 accommodate ETS-Lindgren's growing market share in that country. The office provides technical support, project management, installation and systems integration services.

History
ETS-Lindgren began in 1995 when industry leaders EMCO, Rantec, and Ray Proof combined their resources to create EMC Test Systems. Ray Proof started as a supplier of medical X-rayX-ray
X-radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation. X-rays have a wavelength in the range of 0.01 to 10 nanometers, corresponding to frequencies in the range 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz and energies in the range 120 eV to 120 keV. They are shorter in wavelength than UV rays and longer than gamma...
