Siskiyou 50th Anniversary

Grants Pass, OR – August 1, 2022 - Siskiyou Corporation has provided a diverse range of micromanipulators, microscope sample positioners, motion control systems, and modular optomechanical building blocks to Life Science and Photonics researchers for 50 years.

Siskiyou was founded in 1972 in Grants Pass, Oregon, by Bob Hodge as a two-person shop with the mission to provide precision positioning devices for photonics research. The first products were a mirror mount, support post, support post holder, and mounting base. The precision of Siskiyou’s instruments attracted attention. Soon customers were requesting related devices.

Advances in life science and photonics research led to new uses for Siskiyou’s devices driving growth. Staff and equipment were added to handle new design requests and manufacturing. By 1992, Siskiyou had grown and had the latest CNC machining centers. And now has a large machine shop with numerous state of the art machines, large assembly area, cleanroom and an anodizing facility.
