Between 1990 and 2005, the instrumentation, systems and automation industries were the subject of significant, not to say massive, change. Not only was this change of a technical nature, with significant advances in many product areas, but also this period has been one of consolidation among supplier companies who furnish instruments and control systems. It appears that this consolidation will continue for the foreseeable future.

This turmoil among suppliers has had a significant effect on the ability of Instrument Engineers to find familiar products, and locate companies for service of existing installed equipment.

Many companies were sold or merged with others. Their names were combined, dropped or changed. The purpose of this wiki is to help you follow and identify how these companies and their names have changed throughout time.
