MICROTOUCH™ CELEBRATES 40TH ANNIVERSARY

MicroTouch, the global leader in capacitive touch solutions, celebrates over 40 years as an innovator in touch technology, with more than 50 million touchscreen installations in 80 countries worldwide, and 100-plus patents. Here’s a look back at where we began and a look ahead to where we’re going.

A Touch of History

In February 1982, former CEO, James Logan, formed MicroTouch in the laundry room of a house in Wayland, MA, with an initial business plan of developing touchscreen software for PCs. He succeeded beyond all expectations.
Back in the day, touch technology was competing with the mouse as the interface of the future. Today, while not every desk is mouse-free, MicroTouch provides a wealth of touch-driven business solutions for the retail, gaming, hospitality, healthcare, fitness, industrial automation, financial markets, and many others.
As a product of the 80s, MicroTouch was an industry icon that took the entertainment industry’s vision of the future which included much more than human-machine interaction—such as Dillinger’s touchscreen desk in Tron, and TV hits like Knight Rider and Star Trek TNG—and made it a reality.

In February 2021, TES America, LLC, acquired certain assets from 3M® TouchSystems, most notably MicroTouch itself. TES subsequently introduced MicroTouch with a new brand image, renewed vision and expanded line of projected capacitive touch monitors. And MicroTouch was Back with a Boom!
Today, MicroTouch technology is making business and commercial transactions easier everywhere; from self-checkout in department stores and supermarkets, self-check-in at airports, gaming machines in casinos, through patient care and monitoring in hospitals and clinics, interactive exhibits at museums, trader stations at the stock exchange, to automated assembly lines. One of our recent growth markets, and an excellent example of how our touch technology has progressed since the days of the laundry room, is home fitness. Reflect fitness mirrors are some of the most effective pieces of home workout technology around where a higher proportion of people now exercise at home.
MicroTouch has drawn together some of the industry’s most knowledgeable touch technology professionals and industry veterans. We take a consultative approach using our seasoned experience, encompassing 40 years of proven touch solutions. This experience, spread over a broad variety of markets, allows us to pay special attention to customers’ needs and assist them to design their own specific—often unique—application and/or environment.
