AMETEK, Inc. is an American multinational conglomerate and global designer and manufacturer of electronic instruments and electromechanical devices with headquarters in the United States and over 150 sites worldwide.[2]
The company was founded in 1930. The company's original name,American Machine and Metals, was changed to AMETEK in the early 1960s, reflecting its evolution from a provider of heavy machinery to a manufacturer of analytical instruments, precision components and specialty materials.[3]
AMETEK has been ranked as high as 402 on the Fortune 500.[4] The firm has also consistently been on the Fortune 1000 rankings list as well as the Fortune Global 2000.[5]
The overall strategy for the organization is made up of 4 components: Operational Excellence (cost control), New Product Development, International/Market Expansion, and Acquisitions.
The firm has two operating groups (theElectronic Instruments Group and theElectromechanical Group).[6] Together, these groups and their divisions comprise over 100 brands, including analytical instruments, monitoring, testing and calibration devices as well as electrical motors, pumps and interconnects.[7] The company's headquarters is inBerwyn, Pennsylvania.
AMETEK is listed on theNew York Stock Exchange. Its common stock is a component of theS&P 500 index and theRussell 1000 index.[8]
