Like Espy, MPG is a technology-driven organization, known for producing quality products, excellent customer service, and a welcoming corporate culture. In fact, all people from Dover and MPG that I have met, and worked with, are outstanding! I am confident that Espy and its employees will have an even brighter and more promising future being a contributing part of MPG.”

I look forward to what our combined engineering teams will deliver.”
