Business news stories sometimes seem reserved for burgeoning startups, but a Michigan manufacturer of global technology just broke a thirty-year sales record the hard way. Through innovation and organization, Dexter Research Center, Inc. followed two consecutive years of record sales with a chart-busting thirty-four percent increase in Q1 of 2007.

Kurt Hochrein, the robotics executive who worked with 20th Century Fox to place Kawasaki Robots in the Steven Spielberg movie Minority Report, has been named Director of Customer Development for Dexter Research Center, Inc. Dexter Research is an industry leader in the innovative design and the volume manufacture of high quality, high output bismuth-antimony thin film and silicon-based radiation sensing thermopile detectors.
