U.S. Congressman Paul Tonko (NY-20) toured Mechanical Technology Incorporated (MTI) in Albany Monday to discuss with senior leadership their most recent contract with the United States Air Force and to tour the business’ operations. Tonko routinely tours Capital Region businesses – averaging about one per week – to gain a better understanding of what Congress can do to help local job creators the tools they need to expand and hire in the region. Photos from the tour can be found here.

“These on-site experiences and face-to-face discussions with innovative industry leaders in the Capital Region are critical to my ability to fight in Congress for the needs of workers and entrepreneurs in our communities. The good work done here at MTI helps to keep our Air Force operations safe and flight-ready, and is yet another example of the cutting edge ingenuity for which our region is known. I appreciate the time Kevin Lynch and his team took to meet this week,” said Tonko.

”We are pleased to have Congressman Tonko visit our facility to understand our operations and programs that supports the women and men of the U.S.A.F in ensuring aircraft flight readiness and engine safety,” said Kevin Lynch, the CEO of MTI. “We strive to expand our position in the global market by providing high quality precision measurement sensors, instruments and systems to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and end users alike. Our products which are designed and manufactured here in Albany, NY are utilized by governmental agencies as well as major international companies, ranging from semiconductors, consumer electronics devices to industrial /automotive industries, as they undertake their transition toward automated test and assembly operations”.

The United States Air Force recently awarded MTI a $9.35 million contract for the supply of vibration measurement and balancing systems along with associated accessories and maintenance.

Mechanical Technology, Incorporated (MTI) is engaged in the design, manufacture, and sale of test and measurement instruments and systems through its subsidiary MTI Instruments, Inc. designs, manufactures, and markets precision linear displacement solutions, vibration measurement and system balancing solutions, and wafer inspection tools. These tools and solutions are developed for markets that require the precise measurements and control of products processes for the development and implementation of automated manufacturing, assembly, and consistent operation of complex machinery.
