She said the company offers a range of systems for brain research and works to develop new tools to simplify measurement, reduce cost and enable new research.
According to Pinnacle, exceptional customer service and collaborative relationships with clients have helped it to build its successful foundation.
“Exporters like Pinnacle Technology make our state proud by providing people around the world with the very best Kansas products,” Lt. Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland said. “A company like Pinnacle, creating and providing cutting-edge medical technology and service to organizations around the world, is precisely in line with our new Framework for Growth and our state’s renewed focus on innovation. I’m proud to know that this forward-thinking company is enjoying so much success in Kansas, and it’s an honor to help celebrate their achievements.”
