ROP

Roper Technologies Inc

A diversified technology company that sells specialized software and engineered products for niche markets like legal, healthcare, education, insurance, and construction, plus devices such as medical equipment, water meters, and RFID readers. It traces back to 1890, when George D. Roper began making gas kitchen stoves in Rockford, Illinois, later shifting to buying niche software and tech firms and renaming itself Roper Technologies in 2015. Fun twist: a company now known for medical and insurance software once spent decades as a household name in kitchen stoves.
