About Us

Name Dytran Instruments, Inc.
Summary Piezoelectric and DC MEMS Sensors for Measurement and Monitoring
Description Our mission at Dytran is to create innovative sensor solutions to meet the test and measurement challenges of our customers. For twenty years the following four Dytran trademarks have fueled our growth: We learn from our customers, we educate our customers, we provide solutions to our customers and finally, we build lasting relationships with our customers.

Dytran was founded in 1980 by current company president Nick Change, in Buffalo NY. Nick’s vast experience in piezoelectric sensor design dates back to 1959. He began his career in piezoelectric sensors working with a well-known sensor manufacturer in the Buffalo, New York area as a draftsman. He later went on to earn his bachelors degree in electrical engineering from The University of Buffalo. His career path took him to the eventual presidency of two major players in the piezo world. In 1980 Nick had the intestinal fortitude to form his own company (Nick named the company Dytran by combining the words dynamic and transducers). And so Dytran was born in the proverbial basement of Nick’s home in a suburb south of Buffalo. As they say, the rest is history!
