We are a leading global manufacturer of electronic instruments and electromechanical devices, a journey we embarked on back in 1930. Our original name was American Machine and Metals, but we became AMETEK in the early 1960s to better reflect our evolution into a provider of more advanced technologies. For over 90 years, we have been driven by a passion for solving our customers' most complex challenges with differentiated technology solutions. Our global team of over 21,000 dedicated colleagues works across more than 150 operating locations in 31 countries, all united by a common purpose: to make the world a better, safer, and more productive place. Our core philosophy is centered around our AMETEK Growth Model, which is built on the four pillars of Operational Excellence, Strategic Acquisitions, Global & Market Expansion, and New Product Development. This model, combined with a disciplined focus on cash generation and capital deployment, is our engine for creating long-term shareholder value.
Our operations are organized into two main groups: the Electronic Instruments Group (EIG) and the Electromechanical Group (EMG). EIG is a world leader in designing and manufacturing advanced analytical, test, and measurement instrumentation for a wide range of industries, including energy, aerospace, power, research, medical, and industrial markets. EMG stands as a differentiated supplier of automation and precision motion control solutions, as well as highly engineered electrical interconnects, specialty metals, and thermal management systems. We take pride in our culture of continuous improvement and innovation, which allows us to serve a diverse set of niche markets. We believe in fostering an inclusive environment where diverse perspectives are valued, as this is critical to driving the innovation and growth that define our success. We are committed to operating responsibly, minimizing our environmental impact, and supporting the communities where we live and work through the AMETEK Foundation.
