The company was founded in 1930. The company's original name, American Machine and Metals, was changed to AMETEK in the early 1960s, reflecting AME's evolution from a provider of heavy machinery to a manufacturer of analytical instruments, precision components and specialty materials.[4]

The firm has two operating groups (the Electronic Instruments Group and the Electromechanical Group).[5] Together, these groups and their divisions comprise over 100 brands, including analytical instruments, monitoring, testing and calibration devices as well as electrical motors, pumps and interconnects.[6] The company's headquarters are in Berwyn, Pennsylvania.

AMETEK is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Its common stock is a component of the S&P 500 index and the Russell 1000 index

Creaform

Creaform manufactures metrology and 3D engineering devices for use in shop-floor environments[7] It is based in Lévis, Quebec, Canada. The company was founded in 2002 by Martin Lamontagne and two co-workers at Modelex.[8] It began with a $200,000 loan from the Business Development Bank of Canada.[8] In 2009, the company sold its 1000th laser scanner,[9] priced from $50 –100,000.[10] Creaform was acquired by Ametek in 2013 for $120 million in cash.[11] At the time, Creaform had annual sales of $52 million.[11] In 2017, Creaform opened a new, $20 million, headquarters in Levis.[12] The 76,000 square foot headquarters is double the size of the old one, allowing Creaform to triple its production.
