9 Directory of “Lost” Companies
W. H. BOYES WITH S. EDVI (2005)
Between 1990 and 2005, the instrumentation, systems and auto-
mation 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.
Identified in this appendix are over 100 companies whose
name, ownership, or product line changed significantly over
the period from 1990 to 2005. This list is not complete, and
the authors believe that there are perhaps as many as 50 more
companies, most outside North America, whose names have
also changed in the same fashion.
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 equip-
ment. For example, the Fischer & Porter Company, a well-
known name in 1990, ceased to exist as a marque in 2002.
The company itself was purchased by Elsag BV, and merged
with Bailey Controls to form Bailey-Fischer-Porter. Later,
Elsag sold the combined companies to ABB, who elected to
drop both trade names in favor of ABB Process Instrumen-
tation. So, an Instrument Engineer whose company installed
Fischer & Porter instrumentation or control systems in the
early 1990s may now find it impossible to easily find infor-
mation, manuals, and source spare parts and service for Fis-
cher & Porter systems. Fischer & Porter, as you will see in
the table below, is far from the only example of this problem.
The authors therefore provide this information as a public
service to the profession.
