AME

Ametek, Inc.

A maker of electronic instruments and electromechanical devices, Ametek supplies precision tools used in aerospace, medical, industrial, and defense settings—everything from pressure gauges and aircraft sensors to power supplies and floor-care motors sold under brands like Paragon and Lamb. Formed in 1930 through a merger of American Machine and Metals, it later shortened its name to Ametek, a blend of those original words. Its early years were anchored in scrap-metal recovery and fertilizer equipment before it moved into the high-tech instruments it's known for today.
