When you are a small company, there are a lot of things you expect to happen. Being in a history museum is not one of them. \u00a0This past November 8th \u00a0PADT was featured in the latest exhibition at the Tempe History Museum: Made in Tempe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is a strange thing to stroll through a museum, chatting with a docent, and turn the corner and see something you worked on sitting inside a display case. Then, looking up seeing a display describing who PADT is and what we do was a bit emotional. \u00a0But the best part was when a visitor comes up and start reading next to you, and then asks out loud “what is that white thing in the middle, are those\u00a0gears, was that made on a 3D Printer?” And with a bit of a lump in your throat, replying “Why yes, yes it was.” That very moment was capture by someone from the museum in this image:<\/p>\n

As the museum points out on their website:<\/p>\n

\n

“Most people think of Tempe as the home of Arizona State University, Tempe Town Lake and Mill Avenue, but Tempe is also the\u00a0location for hundreds of manufacturing companies, ranging from hot sauce to heart defibrillators and the Tempe History Museum wants to honor their role in the progress of\u00a0this city.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And don’t forget Four Peaks Brewing… definitely some great company to keep.<\/p>\n

The attendance was very strong, with many people involved in the Museum, the City of Tempe, and technology spending their Friday night mingling and learning about all of the companies.<\/p>\n

Here we see Josh mingling with the other guests:<\/p>\n

The highlight of the evening was to cut the ribbon and officially open the “Made in Tempe” Exhibition, standing with fellow Tempe business owners and executives:<\/p>\n

\"Museum1\" <\/picture><\/a>We are very pleased to be based here in Tempe, Arizona. \u00a0It is a great home for companies of all types, but especially technology companies who want a city government that actually gets high-tech, gets the need to have good infrastructure and strong schools, supports a world class university, and makes the type of investments that result in a great environment for long term growth.<\/p>\n

PADT is proud to now be part of the city’s official history and especially proud to be “Made in Tempe.”<\/p>\n
