Founded by Dr. Irvin Ball, Ball Systems has been a leader in the custom electronics test equipment market since 1966. At its inception, the company provided engineering consulting services to national and international customers in a variety of industries, including television, magnetics, heavy chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and automotive.
Most of the consultation work involved specialized equipment to measure or control critical product functionality.
In response to the changing needs of customers, Ball Systems opened design and production facilities in 1974. These services were added to supplement the company’s consulting services, providing the ability to design and manufacture custom electronic equipment.
Through the 80’s, 90’s, and early 2000’s, the company continued to grow its presence in the automotive electronics testing space. During the same period, the company went through growing pains when Dr. Irvin Ball passed away. The early 2000’s saw two other short-term owners before Andy Caine and Pat Turley acquired the company in 2006. That same year, an aggressive push was made in diversifying and expanding Ball Systems' customer base, market segmentation, and geographic footprint.
That push saw great success, with Ball Systems continuing to grow exponentially every year since 2008.
Today, Ball Systems remains a trusted manufacturing partner to aerospace and defense primes, OEMs, and automotive manufacturers around the world. Our focus remains rooted in building ITAR-compliant electrical and electronic test systems, build-to-print assemblies, and custom test solutions for the most demanding programs in the industry.
Ball Systems designs, develops, and delivers custom test systems and produces comprehensive build-to-print systems for companies creating or manufacturing critical electronic or electro-mechanical components for automotive, aerospace and defense and consumer appliance applications.
