Company
Brooks Instrument (www.brooksinstrument.com) is an industry leader in flow measurement and flow control products for critical applications. The company is headquartered in Hatfield, PA with manufacturing locations in Pennsylvania, Hungary, Korea and Japan. The Company maintains sales and service offices throughout the world, and its products are used in laboratory and process applications in end markets such as: life sciences, chemicals, semiconductor, analytical instruments, nuclear, food & beverage, and solar cells. The comprehensive Brooks product line includes a wide range of integrated technologies and models to solve most precision flow measurement and control challenges. These include, thermal mass flow, variable area (VA), pressure & vacuum, coriolis mass flow, and positive displacement devices to measure, regulate, and control gas and liquid flow in a variety of laboratory and process applications. These products are frequently mission critical and are often configured to address specific technical requirements of end-use applications. A range of accessories such as gas flow calibrators, pressure controllers, valves, and secondary instrumentation is also offered. Brooks has a venerable brand driven by consistently delivering products that are unsurpassed for reliability, repeatability, accuracy, and performance.
Established in 1946, Brooks was acquired by Emerson Electric in 1964. The company developed well over the years and established dominant market share in variable area flow meters and thermal mass flow controllers as well as unique capabilities in alternate instrumentation technology. The business delivered steady and profitable growth. Strong end market growth and new demand in emerging markets such as China, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Asia drove double digit growth at Brooks in many years. Believing there was value to be unlocked, American Industrial Partners, a private equity firm, acquired Brooks from Emerson on December 31, 2007. The company charted a going forward operating agenda focused on new product development, service and cost leadership, emerging market penetration, and synergistic acquisitions. In April of 2009, Brooks acquired Key Instrument, a VA flow meter manufacturer specializing in adjacent market space. In June of 2009, Brooks acquired the instrumentation segment of Celerity, immediately establishing a dominant market presence in the semiconductor market.
Brooks experienced strong growth in the semiconductor market, stressing their ability to fulfill demand. Further, the acquired Celerity business originated from a number of business combinations resulting in a broad current and legacy product portfolio making it inherently cumbersome. To overcome this history, Brooks has launched a new generation of products that is enabling successful obsolescence of these legacy products. The recent history of growth requires a retooling of the sales framework to one that is more customer focused, scalable, and motivating to exceptional talent. In 2013, Brooks acquired Westphal, establishing a direct sales distribution channel in Germany and surrounding countries.
In 2011, in recognition of the fact that the primary value creation objectives had been met, American Industrial Partners made the decision to sell the Brooks Instrument business. Ultimately, the Brooks business was sold to ITW (Illinois Tool Works) on January 3, 2012. ITW is a fortune 200 company that was founded over 100 years ago. ITW is one of the world’s leading diversified manufacturers of specialized industrial equipment, consumables, and related service businesses. ITW businesses serve local customers and markets around the globe, with a significant presence in developed as well as emerging markets. The company has operations in 56 countries that employ approximately 51,000 employees. These talented individuals, many of whom have specialized engineering or scientific expertise, contribute to ITW’s global leadership in innovation. The company is proud of its broad portfolio of nearly 10,000 active patents. ITW is on an aggressive growth trajectory that includes a strategy of not only growing organically, but through acquisition.
