Thermo Electron Corporation was established more than five decades ago. After initial success as a specialist supplier in the USA space program, Thermo grew and acquired well established brand names in the instrumentation industry which were synonymous with attributes such as proven technical superiority, quality and reliability.
Products selected for suitability in the business were defined as those that provided the capability to either Analyze, Detect, Measure or Control.
Four years ago Thermo embarked on a structural and cultural revolution to create a single large organization capable of handling almost any instrument-related application. The so-called 'One Thermo' approach has been very successful and of great benefit to customers worldwide.
As part of the 'one Thermo' plan, brand names were changed to include the name 'Thermo' hence Thermo ARL, Thermo Nicolet, Thermo Finnigan, etc. Finally, in 2004 all Thermo's businesses worldwide started to operate under the same name - Thermo Electron Corporation. Following the process of acquisition and consolidation at Thermo Electron Corporation, two major divisions emerged, the Scientific Instruments Division (SID), which deals primarily with laboratory instruments, and the Process Instruments Division (PID) which is concerned with measurement and control products in the food and bulk materials industries.
Well known scienfitic instruments handled by the Scientific Instruments Division include molecular and elemental analysis instruments like AA, ICP, ICP-MS, UV-Vis, FT-IR, GC, GC-MS.
