Danish Myo Technology A/S, originally J.P. Trading, was founded in 1980 by John Pedersen. The Myograph which was the corporation's first and only product at the time come to be in interplay between Professor Michael John Mulvany's wish of the possibility to research resistant blood vessels and John Pedersen's mechanical background and ideas. The result became a ‘Myograph'
The name Myograph is a compound word of the word myo (Latin for muscle) and graph (planned drawing). The result of the use of a myograph is a transcript of the muscle activity under different influence, hence myograph.
After the development of the myograph and published results the demand increased slowly and soon myographs were now made produced for a narrow group of European researchers. In time the business moved from a basement to new and larger facilities in Forskerparken, Aarhus in Denmark.
Through the nineties a variety of myograph came and do to continues growth in all areas J.P. Trading moved again and turned into Danish Myo Technology A/S. The move was to new buildings in Skejbyparken where administration, developing, electronic and mechanical is located today. During 2008 there was a generational change and the original owner's sons, who were joint owners, took over the full ownership so the cooperation stays owned by family. Today the cooperation is still growing and outside the head office in Aarhus it operates from the branch office in Copenhagen as well as the American daughter company DMT-USA, Inc. in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
