Bemco
Bemco is the oldest environmental test equipment company under continuous ownership in the United States. If you include our Conrad/Missimer Division, this is our 75th year. In 1958, Bemco made the first orbital space simulator in the United States. Many Bemco systems made in the 50's, 60' and 70's are still functioning reliably today. In 1972, Bemco purchased Conrad/Missimer, the then industry leading manufacturer of environmental test chambers from Gulf and Western (now Viacom) . Many of the unique products Bemco offers today, such as the Universal Test Machine, FTU and the Compact Temperature Chamber, FB1.5 , came with this purchase. Almost every US space program has in some part been tested in a Bemco Space Simulator, Bemcoil Thermal Shroud , or a Bemco manufactured Thermal Vacuum System . Bemco products can be found in laboratories and test facilities all over the world in almost every industry including aerospace, defense, electronics, automobile, medical, and consumer products.
