MadgeTech Success Recognized by
Presidential Candidate
In Carly Fiorina's new book, 'Rising to the Challenge,' she
refers to Norman Carlson, founder and president of MadgeTech, as
the essence of entrepreneurship. The book hit the shelves on
Tuesday May 5th and includes Fiorina's impressions of this New
Hampshire based company that began in Carlson's basement in 1996,
and is now internationally known as a premier data logger
manufacturer.
So what makes MadgeTech stand out to the previous CEO of Hewlett
Packard and now Presidential Candidate? Fiorina said she chose to
mention Carlson because his story illustrates the kind of
risk-taking that should be encouraged. An excerpt from the book
explains "There are all kinds of reasons why people fail to fulfill
their potential. Perhaps they lack opportunity, perhaps they lack
support, perhaps they lack tools or training or education. But
everyone has potential. This I know. Our Founders knew it too."
The individuals behind team MadgeTech believe the continued
growth and recognition like this can be attributed to honoring the
core principles on which it was founded; customer service, quality
and trust.
What exactly does MadgeTech do?
MadgeTech builds data loggers. Data loggers are small, battery
powered, electronic devices that record measurements of physical
parameters including temperature, humidity, pressure and shock, for
example. This recorded data in many cases is mandated by
regulations for verification of product quality or consumer safety.
MadgeTech also engineers data logger software that is used to
manage the data logging devices and provide the tools for analyzing
the data and generating reports.
Additionally MadgeTech services the more strictly regulated
industries that need to comply with 21 CFR Part11 requirements and
IQ/OQ/PQ guidelines by offering secure data logger software.
Over the years MadgeTech has flourished and developed innovative
solutions for clients and facilities on every continent. Well known
for a distinct dedication to producing high quality products at
competitive prices, MadgeTech services the widest variety of
industries of any data logger manufacturer. This diversity and
ingenuity has propelled the company's growth in all areas of
business while still delivering excellent and personal customer
service.
The MadgeTech headquarters houses all data logger engineering,
production, sales and service and is located in Warner NH, about
one hour north of Boston, Massachusetts.

Carly Fiorina got acquainted with MadgeTech and the story behind
it in the fall of 2014 when she visited and toured the facility. In
a recent article published in the Manchester Union Leader Fiorina
explains "Here's a guy. He has an idea. He doesn't get a lot of
help. But he is committed. He knows that he has this great idea and
can make it work. And, thankfully, he was able to. And so now he's
creating livelihoods for a lot of people".
MadgeTech is unique in many ways because of the man at the heart
of it and the people behind the scenes that contribute and operate
the business every day, making it the best that it can be. In
summary, building data loggers is what MadgeTech does best, but
building relationships is what makes the MadgeTech difference.
