EG&G Instruments has Changed It’s Name to
PerkinElmer Instruments OAK RIDGE, TN, November 1, 1999– PerkinElmer Instruments was introduced to the Oak Ridge industrial
community October 26, when EG&G Instruments changed its name as part of a corporate
conversion to a totally commercial entity from one based largely on government contracts.
Earlier this year EG&G, Inc., Wellesley, Massachusetts acquired
PerkinElmer Analytical Instruments, Norwalk, Connecticut and subsequently sold the
remaining portion of the EG&G government contracting business. "We are very
excited about new opportunities presented by the addition of the PerkinElmer Analytical
Instruments group to our company" said Jon Kidder, President. "The corporate
focus is now totally on the high technology growth markets and we anticipate continued
improvement and growth in our instruments business."Over the past five years, EG&G has successfully transitioned from a
company that relied on U.S. government contracts to one that is exclusively focused on
Global commercial technology markets, and in particular, scientific instruments. The name
PerkinElmer is internationally recognized as a leading scientific instrument brand and is
currently represented in over 100 countries worldwide. The new name is part of an overall
effort to build product and service strategy under one strong brand.
PerkinElmer Instruments, Oak Ridge, Tennessee will continue to supply the
products and services of the ORTEC, Princeton Applied Research, Signal Recovery, Berthold,
and Fiber Optics product lines. |
