MTE has received an academy award for technical achievement from the Academy of Motion Picture arts and Sciences and, on several occasions, has received certificates and technical awards from the Academy. MTE is known world wide as an innovator in the film post production industry. MTE developed the world's first successful combination 16/35mm all electronic projection system for post production along with a looping system and bi-polar interlocking technique. All this led to a very large market share, and finally recognition by the Industry, that MTE was the leader in this segment of the business.

The client base expanded and included every major Hollywood studio along with the usual New York based accounts. Magna-Tech then began to market overseas and expanded its market penetration into Western Europe, Canada, Australia, the Far East and finally today into the Middle East and the new emerging countries in Eastern Europe.

Sales and product development for MTE will be headed up by Larry Polla.  Larry is a 25 year veteran of the motion picture industry and will be responsible for developing the new product line of high end specialty projection and control systems for MTE. Larry brings a broad knowledge of the industry along with his sales and equipment development experience.
