  Company History:

1971- MICROCOPY was founded in California by the father and son duo of Thomas H. Maass, Sr. and Thomas H. Maass, Jr. 

1972- MICROCOPY introduced INSTA-NEG® and INSTA-FIX®, the world’s finest rapid dental x-ray solutions.  INSTA-NEG® and INSTA-FIX® brought not only amazing speed, but also a high level of diagnostic quality that equaled the conventional, slow processing chemistry in use at the time.

1973- Several key employees joined the company, including Thomas H. Jr.’s wife Martha being named Corporate Secretary and Office Manager. 

1974- Introduced MICROCOPY's patented INSTA-VELOPER® Portable Darkroom for chair-side processing in seconds.

1979- MICROCOPY launched the product, FILM FLAPS®-soft foam tabs for x-ray film positioning and started distributing TROLLMOUNTS- a superior film mounting system.  As MICROCOPY’s sales continued to grow, so did the need for more factory space. 

1986- MICROCOPY left their undersized factory in Newbury Park, California and opened a brand new manufacturing and distribution facility in Kennesaw, Georgia.

1989- MICROCOPY introduced the NEODIAMOND® brand diamond to the US market.  We truly pioneered the concept of using an individually-packaged, pre-sterilized diamond to reduce cross contamination and disease, as well as, provide a fresh cut every time.  As more and more dentists used the NEODIAMOND®, they were convinced of our “multi-use quality/single-use price” diamond’s excellence and spread the word.  Sales of the NEODIAMOND® were increasing at a steady rate, but things really took off in September of 2001.

2001- Dentistry’s most respected independent research organization recommended the concept of single-patient use diamonds.  Things have not been the same since, with sales of our NEODIAMOND® brand diamonds going through the roof and winning many doctor recommendations and other industry recognitions as well.  NEODIAMOND® is now America’s #1 selling diamond in the dental industry. 

2002- Perry L. Parke joined MICROCOPY as General Manager.  With a strong background in Manufacturing Management and Quality, he quickly became a highly valued asset to the company and soon afterwards secured ownership in the company and was made Vice President. 

2003- MICROCOPY introduced the popular NEOBURR® brand of carbide burs to dental professionals.  NEOBURR® carbides are made of the highest quality fine grain structure tungsten carbide and their superior quality is assured by compliance to an advanced ISO 9001 and ISO 13485:2003 quality system.  NEOBURR® carbides have been recognized in the leading US dental publication Dentistry Today’s Top 100 Products 2006. We have also been rated equal to the brand leader, receiving the Four Star accolade from Reality Publishing, the top dental products evaluation body.    

2005- Introduced NEODRYS®- the premier saliva absorbent product on the market to date.  Patented in Europe and the US, it’s “Comfort Edge” design, super absorbency, lower cost, softer materials, and size color-coding have made the NEODRYS® a huge success.

2008- To expand the product line of the successful NEODRYS®, MICROCOPY introduced the innovative NEODRYS REFLECTIVE®.  Again, innovation and creativity allowed MICROCOPY to introduce the world’s first and only super absorbent for the parotid gland.   

2008- Thomas H. Maass, Jr. retired as President of MICROCOPY, but is still an intricate part of the company.  He and Martha are both enjoying retirement after 37 years of bringing innovative products to the dental community.

2009- Perry L. Parke was named the new President of MICROCOPY.  He provides leadership in the daily operations of MICROCOPY.  

2009- NEODIAMOND® brand diamonds continues its success as America’s #1 selling diamond in the dental industry. 

Since 1971, MICROCOPY has held to certain core values that have made our products well-received world-wide.  Unlike other companies, we don’t try to be all things to all people.  When you call Microcopy, it’s a real person that answers the phone.  There are no buttons to push, no sleepy music, just real people who value your time and money.  Our web site is designed the same way, to respect you and your time.  We still believe in “value” and want to offer our customers the highest quality products at economical prices.  It is this commitment to quality products and superior service, and the dedication of our employees that have established MICROCOPY as a name well known to the dental community. 

The MICROCOPY- Micro Diamond Technologies (MDT) Connection:

One of the many parts that make up the MICROCOPY success story is the connection between MICROCOPY and MDT.  When we made the decision to introduce a line of single-patient use diamonds, the most critical issue we had to face was that we were not willing to introduce a line of low-quality diamonds.  From the start, we carved our own market niche by making a commitment to provide the very highest quality diamond rotary instrument and selling it at the lowest possible price.  We knew there would be others that could duplicate our pricing; we knew that others would attempt to duplicate our quality, but we also knew there would be few, if any, who could offer both.  That was our niche, and that is where MDT comes into the picture.  Located in Afula Israel, MDT is the company that does the outstanding job of diamond plating our burs to our exact engineering standards.  Using only the finest Swiss-made shanks, and the best quality diamond grit, they use computer-controlled equipment in their modern 30,000 square foot facility.   MICROCOPY and MDT have grown together, as each of us has prospered.  We are proud to have them as a part of the MICROCOPY story.

At MICROCOPY, all diamonds go through very thorough performance and quality inspection procedures that include dimensional gauging, grit dispersion inspection and a host of other measurements to insure consistency of quality prior to packaging.  After packaging, (performed under strict FDA guidelines), the diamonds are sent out for gamma-radiation sterilization, and then returned to our warehouse for a final inspection and shipment to our customers.
