MOOG was founded more than fifty years ago, initially engaging in the design and supply of aircraft and missile components. Today, Moog motion control technology is widely used in numerous markets and application areas such as civil aircraft cabins, power generation wind turbines, Formula One racing cars, and medical infusion systems, effectively enhancing the performance of related products. The history of Moog originates from the company founder William C Moog, who was an inventor, entrepreneur, and visionary. In 1951, Bill Moog successfully developed the electrohydraulic servo valve, a device that converts weak electrical pulses into precise and powerful motion. In 1951-7, Bill Moog, the Art brothers, and Lou Geyer rented a corner of the abandoned Proner airport in East Aurora, New York, and established Moog Valve Company (MOOG Valve Company). MOOG is a global designer, manufacturer, and system integrator of precision motion control products. Moog's high-performance systems control military and commercial aircraft, satellites and spacecraft, launch vehicles, missiles, industrial machinery, wind energy, marine applications, and medical equipment.
