Moog Controls

From Graces Guide

of Ashchurch, Tewkesbury

British arm of a US company.

1951 Bill Moog, Art Moog, and Lou Geyer pooled $3,000 and opened Moog Valve. They had limited resources, a primitive work facility in the corner of a dirt-floored airplane hangar, only a couple of potential customers, and one great product. Problem solving depended on their two resources: persistence and creativity.

1958 Dowty took a licence from Moog Valve Co Inc of New York for the manufacture of their servo-valves[1]

1962 Dowty Moog valves were supplied to the Admiralty for electro-hydraulic vibrators and fatigue testing machines[2]

1974 Moog Export Ltd was incorporated in the UK

1977 Moog Export Ltd was renamed Moog Controls Ltd

1981 Moog valves were supplied for servo-control of an earthquake simulator[3]

2009 Moog Wolverhampton was a subsidiary which specialised in flight control actuation products.[4]
