DIT-MCO International, a leading designer and manufacturer of electrical wiring test equipment, celebrates 75 years in business. From 1948 to current day, regardless of industry, DIT-MCO has remained a leader.
DIT-MCO began in 1948 under the name Drive-In Theatre Manufacturing Company. Known for selling speakers for drive-in theaters, DIT-MCO also manufactured other items related to the industry, such as concession stand lights and movie screens. In 1951, the company’s name was changed from Drive-In Theatre Manufacturing Company to DIT-MCO Incorporated. By 1954, DIT-MCO had engineered and manufactured the first ever automated wiring analyzer, the model 200. It was sold to Goodyear Aerospace, Boeing, and the US Navy, becoming successful enough that the drive-in portion of DIT-MCO was spun off and sold to its employees.
