Company History
MERL was founded in Cambridge MA in 1991 by Mitsubishi Electric CR&D. During the early and mid 1990s, MERL grew steadily to approximately 25 researchers. In the late 1990s, it tripled in size through merger with two other laboratories that were part of Mitsubishi Electric: a laboratory focused on software systems research and another on video and communications research. This consolidated all of Mitsubishi Electric's North American research in one organization creating the MERL that exists today.
