Business segments

AMETEK reports two business segments. The Electronic Instruments Group (EIG) makes process and analytical instruments, power-monitoring and measurement equipment, and aerospace instruments and systems. Its products serve markets including life sciences, semiconductors, energy and aviation. EIG generated approximately 66% of AMETEK’s 2025 net sales.[18][4]

The Electromechanical Group (EMG) supplies engineered components and systems, including precision motion-control products, medical components, specialty metals, heat exchangers and motors. It also provides aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul services. EMG generated approximately 34% of 2025 net sales. AMETEK’s product-category reporting places process and analytical instrumentation in EIG and automation and engineered solutions in EMG; both segments contribute to the aerospace and power category.[19]+3 [18]+4

Company history

AMETEK traces its origins to 1930, when its predecessor was incorporated in Delaware as American Machine and Metals, Inc.[12] By 2010, the company was organized around electronic instruments and electromechanical products, and acquisitions had become a significant part of its growth strategy: it completed 27 acquisitions from 2006 through 2010.[22]+2

AMETEK continued to expand its portfolio through acquisitions in the following decade, including Zygo, an optical-metrology company, in 2014.[25] By the end of 2016, David A. Zapico had become chief executive officer, succeeding Frank S. Hermance, who served as executive chairman.[26] The acquisition-led expansion continued with purchases including Abaco Systems in 2021 and Paragon Medical in 2023.[27][28] [12]+7
