Indium Corporation, a global leader in materials science and electronics assembly solutions, founded and headquartered in the Mohawk Valley, will commemorate its 90th anniversary on March 13. Indium Corporation’s innovative products, especially its advanced soldering solutions, are found in many common consumer electronics and high-reliability technologies such as electric vehicles, mobile devices, life-saving medical devices, and emerging 5G technology to name just a few.
Indium Corporation was founded in 1934 by Dr. William S. Murray, operating from his garage at 805 Watson Place in Utica, New York. Dr. Murray was instrumental in identifying and enabling the first commercially viable applications for indium metal. Today, the company is a premier materials refiner, smelter, manufacturer, and supplier to the global electronics, semiconductor, thin-film, and thermal management markets with five local facilities in Utica, Clinton, Rome, and New Hartford in addition to facilities in China, Germany, India, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, and the United Kingdom.
“This milestone is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our employees, the trust of our customers, and the support of our global partners,” said President and COO Ross Berntson. “It also provides a great opportunity to reflect on our achievements, celebrate our present successes, and envision a richer future enabled by Indium Corporation’s materials science.”
“Ninety years later, we are proud to still call the Mohawk Valley home,” Berntson added. “We are committed to giving back to our community, not only through charitable donations, but by developing our local and regional workforce to meet the evolving demands of the advanced manufacturing and semiconductor industries.”
Through STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) outreach partnerships with schools, universities, and community organizations, Indium Corporation impacts the lives of more than 5,000 students annually. Inaugurated in 2012, the company offers an award-winning college internship program which has launched the careers of over 100 college students in STEM fields.
“Just as we believe that materials science changes the world, we believe that today’s students will build our future successes,” said Associate Vice President of Human Resources Dawn Roller. “To that end, we are committed to bolstering community educational resources, especially those that advance the promise and vitally important work being done in STEM fields.”
Indium Corporation recently celebrated the first graduates of its pioneering apprenticeship program, offers assistance to support employees learning new skills and pursuing degree programs, and works with military veterans to make successful transitions to private sector careers.
Indium Corporation proudly supports many charitable and quality-of-life organizations throughout the community including the American Red Cross, Stuff the Bus, ICAN, United Way, Support Our Vets, and the American Heart Association. Since just 2021, the company and its leaders have been honored by the Oneida County History Center, YWCA, MACNY, Mohawk Valley Alliance of Chambers of Commerce, and the Genesis Group.
