MOCON Inc.

MOCON, Inc., is an international manufacturing company headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota USA with operations in Texas, Colorado, Germany and China.

While working as a research physicist for General Mills in Minneapolis, Les Demorest, our founder, saw a need for the type of moisture measurement instrumentation that became our first product. In 1966, he founded Modern Controls, Inc., and in 1968 it became a public company trading locally in Minnesota. In 1979 the company became a nationally traded public company on the NASDAQ exchange with the symbol "MOCO".

In 1999 the company name changed to MOCON, Inc. MOCON has expanded its product lines over the years to include a wide variety of specialized instruments for the food, pharmaceutical, packaging and many other industries. We design, manufacture and sell products for gas detection, measurement and analysis. Our customers use MOCON products in several areas including research and development, production/manufacturing and quality control.

A word often heard at MOCON is "growth". The company has experienced excellent growth over the years and is committed to continuing this growth in the future. There is a strong sense of accountability to our shareholders to deliver consistent earnings through being a step ahead in anticipating, responding to, and delivering market needs.
