BLACKSBURG, Va., Sept. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- VPT, Inc., a HEICO
company (NYSE:HEI.A) (NYSE:HEI), celebrates its milestone
25th Anniversary this year. Throughout the last quarter
century, VPT has grown to become a global leader in providing power
conversion solutions for use in avionics, military, space, and
industrial applications, with an extensive range of award-winning
DC-DC converters, EMI filters, and associated products.
VPT was founded in 1993 when CEO Dr. Dan
Sable joined two other engineers - Fred Lee, former director of the Virginia Tech
Center for Power Electronics, and Gary
Hua to form the company. In the 25 years since it first
began as a three-engineer start-up known as Virginia Power
Technologies, Inc., VPT has seen significant and consistent growth
in size and sales, regularly expanding product lines, as well as
the 2013 addition of VPT Rad, a 5000 square-foot comprehensive
radiation laboratory and test services facility. Dr. Sable stated,
"Watching VPT grow over the last 25 years from a small start-up
to a global leader in the Hi-Rel DC-DC Converter Market has been
incredibly exciting. The key to our success has been the amazing
group of people that make up the VPT family at our facilities in
Virginia, Washington state, Massachusetts, and Taiwan."
Acquired by HEICO Corporation in 2009, VPT currently operates as
part of the HEICO Electronics Technology Group. VPT has more than
300 employees among its Blacksburg,
VA headquarters, Seattle-area sales and marketing office,
Boston-area radiation test
facility, and a MIL-certified manufacturing facility in
Taiwan. In addition, VPT offers
sales representation in over 30 countries and has parts on board
many of the world's most advanced programs. VPT employs some of the
most inventive engineers in the industry and as a result, holds
multiple patents in power technology, as well as numerous awards
and certifications. John Hodock,
President commented, "We are proud to support many of the
world's most advanced space, aerospace, and military programs.
Superior products, unequaled service, and a total commitment to
quality are the defining characteristics of VPT."
Throughout the years, VPT has earned the trust of many
world-class organizations that lead in military, avionics, and
space industries because of the proven reliability of VPT's
products. VPT's products and services meet the highest industry
standards and are made for demanding environments. Because of this,
their products have recently been used on many ground-breaking
space programs, which includes having parts on a number of reusable
