| About Eurotherm Controls, Inc. Eurotherm is one of the world’s best known suppliers of Control and Measurement Instrumentation to Industrial and Process Markets.

Eurotherm’s instruments are sold under five product brands: Action Instruments, Barber-Colman, Eurotherm Chessell, Continental Industries and Eurotherm Controls. We manufacture at a number of locations in Europe and the USA. History Eurotherm Controls, was formed in 1965 at Worthing, West Sussex, England specifically to manufacture temperature controllers. Within five years, the company had set up a number of loosely related but independent companies to develop and produce other advanced product lines. Chessell Ltd was created to manufacture data recorders, while Turnbull Control Systems (TCS) was formed to produce advanced process control systems. By 1978 the company was strong enough to “go public” and it became quoted on the London Stock Exchange in May of that year. It was acquired in 1998 by Siebe plc, later to become Invensys plc. In 1998 Eurotherm Controls Inc and Barber-Colman integrated their sales, marketing, support and product offerings, bringing their customers even greater benefits through their combined strengths. At present, Eurotherm together with Barber-Colman are the largest supplier of temperature controls in the US and the world. In 2001, Eurotherm integrated Eurotherm Recorders (Chessell), Action Instruments and Continental Industries, thereby strengthening all product lines and further achieving the goal of global leadership in automation, control and industrial instrumentation. Eurotherm is a worldwide business with offices in all industrial countries. |
