Corporate Profile
It began with a vision to develop nanosatellites that were easy to launch. It became a center of academic excellence in miniaturizing and packaging electronics with mechanics.
Today, ÅAC Microtec is an internationally acknowledged leader of developing, manufacturing and marketing miniaturized and robust multifunctional electronics systems. By combining the best suitable packaging techniques we offer solutions based on state-of-the art microelectronics and MEMS technology, and services for optimal life cycle performance. ÅAC Microtec was founded in 2005 as a spin-off from Uppsala University’s Ångström Laboratory.
On January 21, 2009, the vision became a reality when our flight computer went into orbit onboard SpriteSat, a Japanese satellite built to observe terrestrial lightning flashes in the upper atmosphere. While we will continue to work with space and avionic projects and related products, we are making our state-of-the-art technology available for defence and industrial applications.
