January 16, 2024January 15, 2024 Keith Mills Publishing Editor

Medical Technology Associates, a provider of testing, inspection, certification and calibration, has acquired MicronPA, a calibration services company, based in York, Pennsylvania. The addition of MicronPA to MTA’s family of companies expands the brand’s calibration services offerings and its capabilities into additional industries.

MicronPA was founded in 1997. MicronPA offers gage, dimensional, mechanical and electronic calibration, in addition to dimensional inspection and specialty services. The company utilizes a GOM (Zeiss) industrial 3D CT scanner for the measurement of objects with complex geometries in an automated environment.

“Together, we will broaden our service offerings, expand our footprint and leverage technology to drive customer success,” says Val Marks, Chief Executive Officer of MTA. “It’s a real win/win for customers and employees.” This marks MTA’s fourth acquisition since January of 2023.
