Business Summary
DuraSwitch Industries, Inc. has developed, patented and licensed technologies utilizing a magnetic-based design for electronic switches. The Company is expanding the use of these technologies by licensing manufacturers to produce and sell products using its technology. The flexibility and advantages afforded designers and manufacturers using this new technology allows for creation of a new style of switch package by fully integrating various switches into a single panel. The Company and its licensees provide a complete solution to the design challenges faced by original equipment manufacturers and component suppliers seeking durable, reliable, value-engineered switch designs that can easily be incorporated into a slim profile, flat-panel design without sacrificing the consistent tactile feedback response (click) that is desired by end users.
