BPM Microsystems Celebrates 40 Years of Innovation in Device Programming

Houston, TX – August 14, 2025 – BPM Microsystems, a global leader in manual and automated device programming solutions, proudly celebrates its 40th anniversary. This August marks exactly 40 years since BPM’s founding in 1985, a milestone that reflects four decades of groundbreaking advancements in programming technology—transforming the semiconductor programming industry and empowering electronics manufacturers worldwide.

In the fast-paced world of technology, few companies can proudly celebrate four decades of continuous innovation. Throughout its history, BPM has successfully navigated economic cycles, embraced rapid technological change, and adapted to global market challenges—all while consistently delivering world-class solutions to customers in more than 50 countries.

A Legacy of Innovation 

BPM Microsystems was founded in Houston, Texas, with a vision to revolutionize device programming by making it faster, more precise, and highly efficient. Over the past four decades, BPM has consistently set new standards in quality, reliability, and performance. The company introduced the industry’s first universal device programmer in 1992, enabling manufacturers to program multiple device technologies with a single machine.

In the mid-1990s, BPM pioneered high-speed automated programming systems by combining universal programming technology with fine-pitch placement and repeatability. This innovation paved the way for the groundbreaking 7th, 9th, and 10th Generation technologies, which have continued to set industry benchmarks and have collectively programmed billions of devices over the years. The release of the BPM310 in 2021 further cemented BPM’s position as a leader in automated programming, delivering unmatched flexibility, speed, and scalability in a compact footprint. In 2024, BPM introduced the BPM210, a Semi-Automatic Universal Desktop Programmer, establishing a new product category that bridges the gap between manual and automated programming solutions.
