MSE is Montana's largest private-sector technology research, development, and engineering services company. We have more than 30years of experience working with the Department of Energy providing infrastructure services:

MSE was originally formed to test and demonstrate Magneto hydrodynamics (MHD) technology at a new federally owned research site in Butte (the U.S. DOE Western Environmental Technology Office (WETO). Through the 1970 and mid-1980s, we broadened our scope in response to increased regional demand for engineering services and for more significant research and testing of the MHD technology. As we completed testing the MHD technology (sponsored by the Department of Energy), we began to explore opportunities to diversify our business base. MSE successfully shifted into testing, demonstration, and commercial application of waste treatment systems using temperature technologies and advanced chemical, biological, and physical processes. In September 1996, MSE acquired and successfully privatized the WETO facility. In 2001 the facility was renamed the Mike Mansfield Advanced Technology Center in honor of Senator Mike Mansfield, and it has become a nationally recognized facility. Today, we serve a diversified public and private sector customer base, we have expanded expertise and qualifications in a broad range of technology fields, and we work diligently to maintain a high standard for our customers.

MSE owns and operates the Mike Mansfield Advanced Technology Center (MMATC) situated on a 53-acre site in Butte, Montana. The facility is nationally known and a recognized, premier testing site with equipment and systems available to test components, equipment, and energy/material handling systems ranging from bench-scale apparatus through engineering-scale demonstrations and full-scale equipment development. Originally, the facility was the U.S. DOE Western Environmental Technology Office (WETO). MSE managed the facility from its inception and successfully privatized it in 1996. In 2002, it was renamed the Mike Mansfield Advanced Technology Center.

From this facility, we research, develop, test, and apply government-sponsored programs and commercial projects in waste treatment, environmental remediation, advanced materials, energy conservation, and other innovative technology areas. We also develop, test, and apply new technologies to treat contaminated surface and ground waters and soils using biological, chemical, and physical methods.
