Process manufacturer celebrates 40 years

Moore Industries-International, a leader in the design and manufacture of electronic measurement and interface instruments for the process industries, celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2008.

The company’s products are used by a majority of the Fortune 500 manufacturing companies, including those that produce chemicals, petroleum, power, paper, food and beverages, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology products.

Moore Industries is best known for signal interface technologies. Product lines include signal transmitters, isolators and converters, temperature sensors, transmitters and assemblies, alarm trips, smart HART loop monitors and interfaces, as well as distributed I/O and data communication systems.

Most recently, the company acquired a fieldbus technology division and created MooreHawke Fieldbus Worldwide to provide interconnection devices for Foundation Fieldbus and Profibus systems.

Still privately held by founder and CEO Leonard W Moore, the company has come a long way from humble garage beginnings when Moore designed and built the company’s first electronic signal converters.

“It may sound trite, but our people really are the key,” said Moore.

“All of the industry awards are great, but the accomplishment I am most proud of is that at least half of our employees have been with us for over 10 years. Many have been here at least 25 years, and we even have a few that have been with us since the beginning,” he said.

“How many 40-year-old companies can say that?”
