Linton Crystal Technologies traces its roots to Rochester, New York, where Henry Hemberger began developing equipment in 1946; the business incorporated as Hamco Machines in 1952 and later became the sole owner of Kayex intellectual property. Today, Linton serves semiconductor and solar manufacturers with Czochralski furnaces and crystal-processing equipment, building on decades of crystal-growth experience to support the path from ingot to wafer.
