SIGNAL RECOVERY Home Page
Description
In 1972 EG&G purchased Brookdeal Electronics, a British company specializing in signal recovery instrumentation. At that time Brookdeal Electronics was well known throughout Europe and the Pacific Rim countries but relatively unknown in the USA. For some years therefore its products were distributed in the US by another EG&G company, ORTEC. Since ORTEC was a well known and respected US instrument company, the products carried the "ORTEC Brookdeal" brand name.
Several years later, in 1977, EG&G purchased "Princeton Applied Research" (PAR), a US company manufacturing scientific instrumentation which included a portfolio of signal recovery products. Since some of the products from PAR were similar to those offered by Brookdeal Electronics, a rationalization of the joint product lines took place over the following years and ultimately in 1986 PAR became the operating company and Brookdeal was closed. However much of the original expertise of the joint organization remained in the UK and so significant R&D and marketing has been conducted from the UK ever since.
Early in 1999 EG&G successfully completed the acquisition of Perkin Elmer’s analytical instruments business, a leading producer of high quality instruments and consumables. The transaction was part of an overall strategy by EG&G to focus its activities on meeting the needs of research and commercial customers requiring high-technology products and systems. An extensive market research campaign during the summer of that year revealed that the brand name Perkin Elmer was significantly better known by these customers than that of EG&G. Consequently, following stockholder approval and with effect from October 26, 1999, the corporation changed its name to PerkinElmer, Inc.
