May 2013 marked 10 years since Micronor Inc. was first established in a modest business unit on Old Conejo Road in Newbury Park, California.
In additional to providing sales and service for Micronor AG products in the North America, Micronor Inc. brought together a group of ambitious fiberoptic engineers who spent the next 10 years creating innovative fiber optic sensors. We branded them ZapFREE® because of their immunity to EMI, RFI and lightning.
