Relocated in Philadelphia after industrial beginnings in Baltimore in 1872, we continue to improve the processes developed for the manufacture of half-tone screens and etching plates for the graphic arts industry.

Currently serving a variety of industries, the Company's products derive from high precision Phototooling and mechanical methods.

Max Levy Autograph, Inc. (MLA) is a manufacturer of high-precision phototooling and delineated parts in optical, thin film, metallic, ceramic, and other substrates.

Major capabilities provide component or artifacts within these product lines:

• Small Optics and Components
• Electroforming
• Calibration Grid Plates and Services
• Photochemical Etching
• Film Products
• Micro Contouring / Machining

Often we employ combinations of processes across these product lines under the direct supervision of the responsible Project Engineer.

Manufactured parts include electroformed parts, lenticular lenses, reticles, encoder disks, calibrated targets, grids and MicroRules^TM, thin film circuitry and arrays, Ronchi and phase diffraction gratings, zone plates, and conductive fine line ceramic and flexible circuits. The company is a supplier of engineering, R&D, prototype and production services.

Max Levy Autograph, Inc. (MLA), was incorporated on August 20, 1984, in Pennsylvania. The present corporation expanded/continued business lines established by its predecessors from the original founded in the 1870's by Max Levy d/b/a Max Levy Company. A majority of authorized shares of capital stock are privately held by officers and employees. The company is not a subsidiary nor owned by another corporation or individual. It is classified as a small business concern.

All work is conducted at MLA's single location in an urban business section of Philadelphia on a well-traveled street. The Company owns its total plant and offices consisting of 44,000 square feet in a secured three-story brick building in good condition and well maintained. Extensive re-investment of earnings has facilitated the construction of product-specific labs and production areas.

Within its plant location, MLA has approximately 4,000 square feet of offices. All information and engineering is conducted using networked personal computer workstations. MLA has six clean room facilities for production of parts, 12 production laboratories, an engineering environmental lab, a complete film-processing lab, production areas for both full metal etching (photochemical etching) and stress-free plating/electroforming, MLA System 4000 Diamond Contouring, and extensive storage areas.

The company has major investments in equipment for interferometrically positioned photoplotting, evaporated vacuum deposition of thin films, plating, electroforming, vacuum lamination, diamond turning and chemical milling.
