For almost 30 years, Marlow has developed and manufactured thermoelectric coolers (TECs) and subsystems for the military, aerospace, medical, high speed integrated circuits, telecommunications, commercial and industrial markets.

Marlow is a winner of the prestigious Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (1991) and was named by Industry Week as one of America's 10 Best Plants of 1993. We received our first ISO certification in January 1998, and in April of 2001 we were one of the first 100 North American companies and the only thermoelectric company on record to achieve compliance with the new stringent ISO 9001/2000 standards.

Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award Winner (1991)

The Baldrige Award is given by the President of the United States to businesses— manufacturing and service, small and large -- and to education and health care organizations that apply and are judged to be outstanding in seven areas: leadership, strategic planning, customer and market focus, information and analysis, human resource focus, process management, and business results.

Congress established the award program in 1987 to recognize U.S. organizations for their achievements in quality and performance and to raise awareness about the importance of quality and performance excellence as a competitive edge. The award is not given for specific products or services. Three awards may be given annually in each of these categories: manufacturing, service, small business, and, starting in 1999, education and health care.
