Microtech Systems

Microtech systems has been around for twenty seven years producing CD/DVD/Blu-ray disc duplicators and publishing systems and software. Founded in 1980 - the pre-dawn of the PC era - Microtech's first product was an 8-inch floppy disc conversion program and sub-system. In those free-for-all days, there were as many different operating systems as there were computer types and little, if any compatibility between them. In 1983, IBM became the standard. Microtech continued to provide conversion systems between the IBM-PC and all the others.

By the mid-80's, Microtech's focus had shifted to magnetic tape - a natural evolution of both the company's software expertise and its customer base. By the early 90's, Microtech was the leader in multi-platform PC based tape duplication systems.

Anticipating a shift toward optical media in the mid-90's, Microtech applied its years of experience in format, device and duplication technology to serve the emerging CD market. The first Microtech CD duplicators were manually operated…and BIG.

The first automated CD duplicator was introduced in 1996; CD publishing capabilities were added in 1997. Now, Microtech's product line includes support for DVD, Blu-ray and multiple direct to disc printing solutions.
