Alberta MEMS Foundry Micralyne Named Top 50 MicroNano Technology Supplier

Edmonton, Alberta, October 2, 2008 – Micralyne Inc., a world leading independent MEMS Foundry, will be recognized this week by OnBoard Technology Magazine as one of the Top 50 MicroNano Technology suppliers.

Micralyne is one of the world's largest independent MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems) manufacturers. MEMS technology is built on the premise of making industrial components smaller, faster and less expensive. Micralyne's micron-scale solutions (i.e. 1000 microns = 1 millimetre) are found in automotive sensors for control systems, lab-on-a-chip devices for drug discovery, optical switching technology in telecommunication networks, and precise measurement devices for oil and gas exploration. Micralyne is a fast growing company headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

"Micralyne has played a major role in building a MicroNano Technology industry within the province of Alberta," says Jim Ramsden, VP of Business Development. "The recognition as a top MicroNano Technology supplier in an international magazine reflects positively on those efforts."
