"MEMS: Expediency brought ADI back home again"

When Analog Devices Inc. started looking around for a suitable facility to house its microelectromechanical-systems operation in 1996, it was lucky to find one ready-made in its founding city of Cambridge, Mass. The building, now retooled for MEMS manufacture, brought ADI back to its roots. The company was founded in Cambridge in 1965 by current chairman Ray Stata and Matthew Lorber, who had been roommates at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. ADI later relocated its corporate headquarters to Norwood, Mass., where it continues to be based.
