ADMATIS was founded in 2000, but the story started well before. A team of scientists in 1979 have got the challenge to design and prepare a special crystallizer (ABC) for space flight in cooperation with Soviet Interkozmosz. As Soviet Union collapsed cooperation started with NASA on the basis of ABC development project. ABC spent several years in US (Marshall Space Flight Center) accompanied by Hungarian operators. Returning home ABC needed a hosting team to maintain, operate and get money for it. Thus inventors founded ADMATIS Ltd took over all ABC issues by contracting with Miskolc University.

Meanwhile experiences convinced NASA and next tender for crystallizer was awarded to ADMATIS to build UMC (Universal Multizone Crystallizer). After it was designed, developed, manufactured and delivered (2002) and successfully tested NASA placed order to ADMATIS for another UMC special version (nicknamed Double Decker). It was delivered in 2004 to take part in Microgravity Research Programme of NASA – Huntsville (Alabama). According to developments one of the two furnaces built in Double Decker UMC can work on 1500 operation temperature – just to mention one of many top challenges solved.
