ROBO 3T PRINT ENV SERIES

While listening to the farmers complaints about the difficult working conditions and the shortage of manpower, the engineers were convinced that robotics could be the solution. More precisely, of a discussion in 2011 between an asparagus producer and two robotics engineers. The others are the Oscar (film), the Tony (theatre) and the Grammy (music). The Emmy is one of the four main awards in American show business. They reward innovations that have made a lasting difference to the world of television, whether in hardware or software, data processing, streaming or audience measurement systems. Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards were established in 1949 and were the first of their kind. The Emmys are awarded annually by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) in all areas of American television. In 1957, its founder Léon Mouttet invented the Push-Pull system, which would propel his company to the forefront of the connector industry. The company was founded in Morges on 19th October 1946. LEMO shares its Emmy with other players in the HDTV revolution, including Japanese (ARIB), American (SMPTE) and European (EBU) institutions.Ĭoincidentally, LEMO receives this prestigious award only a few days after celebrating its 75th anniversary.

LEMO is in good company: Disney, Google, Netflix, Sony, the BBC, Avid and Akamai are also among the award-winning companies this year. The Tech Emmy Awards should have been held in Las Vegas, but it was 'virtualised' because of COVID. It has equipped television cameras of the Olympic Games (as early as 1996) and the Football World Cup, in the stadiums of the English Premier League, at Madison Square Garden in New York and in BBC studios.

The 3K.93C Series has been gradually conquering every TV studio in the world. When the Americans, and then the Europeans, decided to move to HDTV in the late 2000s, they adapted this standard, which became the de facto global standard. Its 3K.93C solution was launched at the end of 1995 with giants Sony and Panasonic as its first customers. The prototype proposed by LEMO was accepted, and it was the Swiss company that set the standard. Japan wanted to launch it and needed a standardised connector to do so. The adventure began in the mid-1990s, when high-definition television did not yet exist. It was the Swiss company that created, with its 3K.93C Series, what has become the global standard for HDTV. LEMO received its Technology & Engineering Emmy Award for 'the standardisation and commercialisation of Television – Broadcast hybrid electrical and fibre optic camera cable and connectors'. This is also a great birthday present, as LEMO has just celebrated its three quarters of a century. American television has thereby recognised the Swiss company for its major role in the launch and development of HDTV. On 4th November, LEMO was honoured with a prestigious Tech Emmy Award at the (virtual) Emmy Awards ceremony.

Established in Osceola, Wisconsin, and Santa Teresa, New Mexico, NORTHWIRE’s staff has grown to 250. LEMO has been investing in production equipment for increased capacity and capability. The development of synergies between the two companies and of complete interconnect solutions for the Group’s customers is ongoing. Since 2019, NORTHWIRE and LEMO USA have had one common director, Farhad Kashani. The alignment of the two family businesses was approved, and the US brand joined the Swiss group’s three other brands – LEMO, REDEL, and COELVER. The next important step came in 2014, when, from the other side of the Atlantic, Swiss company LEMO, in search of high-end cables for its high-precision connectors, approached Northwire, to discuss a possible acquisition. With growing specialisation and complexity, NORTHWIRE entered the medical market with power and data cables for the diagnostic industry. As of the nineties, NORTHWIRE established itself as a recognised brand in complex cables for the machine business, factory, and process automation, mainly for industrial, aerospace, defence, and energy applications.

The company's name and its logo (a compass) are a tribute to the founder's native country, Norway.ĭuring its first years, the family business created and produced low voltage cords for the US market. Ormund Kravik founded NORTHWIRE in 1972 in Osceola, Wisconsin. NORTHWIRE, the manufacturer of cables 'made by LEMO', celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.
