Ibex History

• Ibex Engineering was founded in 1999 by Andre
  Perrin. The company was formed to fill a gap in
  the motion control market by providing
  non-standard precision motion control platforms
  when standard platforms were not sufficient. The
  company boasts over 50 years of collective
  experience in precision motion control and
  factory automation with a heavy emphasis in
  metrology, lasers and optics.
• Ibex Engineering has gained a reputation of
  servicing the most demanding ultra precision
  motion control applications for the markets that
  require leading edge technology the most. Those
  markets include Disk drive, Semiconductor
  fabrication, Biomedical, Pharmaceutical, National
  Laboratories, Life sciences and Genomics.
  Designing and fabricating everything from simple
  screw stages to the most critical Non-magnetic
  Ultra High Vacuum motion control platforms.
