Home About Us Teradyne History Teradyne: Testing The Future For Over Fifty Years A Company Takes Shape The founders of Teradyne met while lining up alphabetically at their ROTC unit at MIT in the late 1940s. While Alex d'Arbeloff and Nick DeWolf pursued separate careers after graduation, they connected again in 1960, intent on starting their own company. Alex and Nick knew that testing electronic components in high-volume production would reach a bottleneck unless the tasks performed by technicians and laboratory instruments could be automated. Their business plan involved a new breed of "industrial-grade" electronic test equipment, known for its technical performance, reliability and economic payback.
