Sono-Tek Corporation (Nasdaq: SOTK) proudly celebrates its 50th anniversary, marking five decades of groundbreaking innovations that have shaped multiple industries. Founded in 1975 by Dr. Harvey L. Berger, Sono-Tek’s journey began with the development of an ultrasonic spray nozzle to improve fuel efficiency during the U.S. energy crisis. This invention laid the foundation for Sono-Tek’s legacy of excellence in precision coating solutions.
Over the years, Sono-Tek has expanded its ultrasonic technology to serve diverse applications across sectors such as medical devices, electronics, and alternative energy. With thousands of its ultrasonic spray coating systems still in operation worldwide, Sono-Tek’s impact spans critical industries, offering precise, reliable and eco-friendly coating solutions.
As technology evolved, Sono-Tek advanced alongside it, creating automated, multi-axis robotic coating systems that meet the demands of modern manufacturing in industries like solar and fuel cells, microelectronics and semiconductors. The company achieved significant milestones, including ISO certification and a successful uplisting to the Nasdaq Exchange in 2021. Today, Sono-Tek operates globally, providing end-to-end installation, service, and application support from its headquarters in Milton, New York, and six additional application labs worldwide.
“Reaching this 50-year milestone is a testimony to our team’s dedication to innovation and customer-focused solutions,” said Steve Harshbarger, CEO of Sono-Tek. “From Dr. Berger’s first invention to our latest high-volume production systems, we have always strived to push the boundaries of ultrasonic technology. We’re proud of the impact we’ve had on so many industries, and we look forward to the next 50 years of growth and discovery.”
As Sono-Tek reflects on five decades of progress, the company remains committed to advancing ultrasonic spray technology and exploring new frontiers in precision coating.
