Company History
SAKOR was founded in 1987 and began as a producer of real-time control systems for other test system vendors. Following the purchase of Eltek Corporation, SAKOR entered the engine test cell market with the first PC-based engine test cell data acquisition and control system. Just a few years later, SAKOR pioneered the first stand alone automotive emissions canister conditioning system at the Nissan plant in Smyrna, Tennessee.
SAKOR has led the market since its inception by revolutionizing data acquisition and controls technology through advanced products such as DynoLAB™ III. Built from the ground up as a completely new Windows-based engine test cell data acquisition and control system, DynoLAB was chock-full with state-of-the-art software and hardware.
Over the years, SAKOR has added systems tailored to test electric motors and hybrid vehicles and has recently expanded its expertise into alternative energy, particularly wind power, and high voltage battery testing. We are continuously evolving, regularly updating our software so that it can work with new technology that comes on the market.
