Dataforth celebrates 35 year anniversary with interactive timeline

May 2, 2019
Founded as an entrepreneurial spin-off from the Burr-Brown Corporation in 1984

Dataforth Corporation, a spin-off from Burr-Brown Corporation, was founded in 1984 in Lee Payne's garage. Thirty-five years later, the company is a leader in instrument-class industrial electronics with two Tucson, AZ, locations and more than 2,000 products.

"The first product offered by Dataforth was a Limited Distance Modem," said Payne. "This was followed by the SCM5B series of signal conditioners." The 5B is still its top seller.

To celebrate Dataforth’s anniversary, an interactive timeline of the company’s history will debut on its website in the beginning of May. Approximately 7 years of history will be added to the timeline each month from May through September.
