Leonardo DA VINCI (b. 1452, Vinci, Republic of Florence [now in Italy]--d. May 2, 1519, Cloux, Fr.). He was a painter, draftsman, sculptor, architect, and engineer whose genius, perhaps more than that of any other figure, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal. His creations Last Supper (1495-97) and Mona Lisa (1503-06) are among the most widely popular and influential works in all of recorded history. His notebooks reveal a spirit of scientific inquiry and a mechanical inventiveness that were centuries ahead of his time.

We chose the drawings of Da Vinci as the backdrop for our company because his entrepreneurial and creative spirit is both motivational and inspiring. Just as Da Vinci lived his life with a balance between art and science, we believe that our path to success must include elements of both of those disciplines. Our technical expertise gives us the ability to provide products with uncompromising quality, while our emphasis on individualized customer relations allows us to help our customers develop real solutions.
