History

Marlow Industries began after Raymond Marlow founded the company in 1973[6] as a five-person team[7] that focused on thermoelectric cooling technology for the defense sector.[8]

In 1991, Marlow Industries was the second small US-based company to receive the Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award,[8] an award created by Congress to recognize American world-class quality companies;[8] Marlow Industries was recognized for its work to improve the company through Total Quality Management.[7]

In 2004, the company was acquired by II-VI Incorporated.[9] Marlow Industries became a subsidiary of the company and began operating within II-VI’s Compound Semiconductor Group.[10][11]

A year later, in 2005, the company opened its manufacturing plant in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. When the factory opened, it focused on thermoelectric module assembly lines for standard commercial products. It now includes various market assembly lines and an engineering design center.[12][13]

In 2007, Marlow Industries entered a partnership with Fuxin Electronics, a company based in Guangdong Province, China in order to allow both companies to expand opportunities in the thermoelectric industry.[14]

Technology

Marlow Industries designs and manufactures a range of semiconductor-based thermoelectric coolers and subsystems,[15] which provide cooling, heating, temperature stabilization, and power generation.[6] Its products are used for infrared sensors, fiber optic guidance systems, thermal reference sources, refrigerators and freezers.[16][17]

Marlow Industries’ thermoelectric materials and devices have been used by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to enable the Department of Defense (DOD) thermal management systems to operate at lower temperatures with higher performance and longer lifetime.[18]

Marlow Industries secured a contract with NASA to develop and improve refrigerators it was using in the space station and other applications.[19]
