March 2006
Thermo Electron Corporation was established more than five decades ago.
Products selected for suitability in the business were defined as those that provided the capability to either Analyze, Detect, Measure or Control.
The so-called ""One Thermo"" approach has been very successful and of great benefit to customers worldwide.
IN 2004 all Thermo's businesses worldwide started to operate under the same name - Thermo Electron Corporation.
Following the process of acquisition and consolidation, 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.
