London, ON and Shakopee, MN– December 4, 2016 – ZTR Control Systems is proud to be celebrating its 30th Anniversary.
In the mid-1980s five coworkers suggested an idea for a new product that was ultimately rejected by the company they worked for at the time. Fuelled with determination and armed with innovation, this group founded ZTR Control Systems in 1987. })
