ABOUT FUTREX
Our Story
In the year 1969, history was created with so little technology. In a time when technology was just being explored, a man was sent to the moon. The Apollo program led to the spin-off of many new high-tech companies that successfully transferred the space program’s leading-edge technology into successful commercial products and services. And we, Futrex, are proud to be one among them.
Futrex was conceived by none other than one of the key members of the engineering team, Bob Rosenthal of the Apollo Program. His expertise included measuring low level star light and using that light to determine the chemical composition of many substances. During the past 40 years, Futrex and its sister companies have developed instruments that are used:
- In agriculture — e.g., measuring the percent protein oil and moisture in food products
- In petroleum products —e.g., measuring the octane number in gasoline
- In industry — e.g., measuring the chemical properties of adhesive coatings on tapes
FAMILY RUN
As a family run company, Bob & his wife Carole managed Futrex together for over thirty years. They loved their home town of Passaic, New Jersey. Along with running the company successfully, they brought immense joy to their friends & family and together, they raised four children.
