Sheldahl, founded in 1955, initially developed products to serve the military and aerospace markets. Those products were based on flexible laminate technology - the combining of dissimilar materials into a new product, superior in capabilities to its component parts. The Company is now a leading producer of high-density substrates, high-quality flexible printed circuitry, and thin, flexible proprietary laminates, primarily for sale to the automotive electronics and datacom (computers and telecommunications) markets
