MINIPRO was founded by a Honda RD Design Engineer and a PhD student at the Ohio State University. MINIPRO's first product was the unique Electric Motor Dynamometer (Dyno). This Dyno allowed to test a wide range of small electric motors, allowing their customers to design and test their motors. The name MINIPRO means: MINI = Small and compact size, P = Perfection and Powerful, R = Reliable Functionality, O = Outlast and Durable.
