The electrocardiograph – known as the ECG, or sometimes the EKG – has been an important tool in diagnosing heart issues for a long time.
One company that has been manufacturing electrocardiograph machines and other medical equipment for a more than 30 years is located on Milwaukee’s far northwest side. Mortara Instrument employs more than 200 people at its headquarters and manufacturing facility. However, it doesn’t get the attention of some of the industry’s giants.
The company is led today by a second generation of the Mortara family. Lake Effect’s Mitch Teich traveled to the company’s headquarters earlier this year to chat with CEO Justin Mortara.
