Other offerings include aircraft cabin power-distribution units configured for 28 VDC or 115 VAC three-phase power; process analyzers for measuring sulfur compounds and hydrogen in specified gas streams; and hermetic microelectronic packages using glass-to-metal seals or high-temperature cofired ceramic. The portfolio also includes aerospace sensors and power systems, medical components and devices, precision motion-control products, electrical connectors, specialty metals, heat exchangers, and motors.[15][16][17][3][18][4][5][19]
Service offerings include field and depot maintenance, repair, calibration, inspection, testing, diagnostics and technical support for analytical instruments, as well as factory repair, calibration, verification and upgrades for force-measurement and weighing products. AMETEK also operates an aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul network.[20][21][22][5][23]
For 2025, reported sales by product category were $3,464.3 million for process and analytical instrumentation (46.8% of sales), $2,187.2 million for aerospace and power (29.6%), and $1,749.7 million for automation and engineered solutions (23.6%). These are category-level sales, not individual product revenues.[24][25] [3][18][4][5][19][23][25][24][24][24][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][20][21][22]

AMETEK reports two business segments: Electronic Instruments Group (EIG) and Electromechanical Group (EMG). For full-year 2025, EIG represented approximately 66.5% of consolidated net sales and EMG approximately 33.5% (shares calculated from reported segment sales).[30]
EIG provides advanced instruments for process, power and industrial, and aerospace markets. Its products include process and analytical instrumentation; power-quality monitoring, metering, UPS and programmable power equipment; and aerospace and defense sensors, embedded computing, monitoring, power and measurement systems.[18]
EMG focuses on precision motion control; high-purity powdered metals, strip and foil, specialty clad metals and metal-matrix composites; motors, motor-blower systems and heat exchangers; and aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul services.[31][19] [30][30][30][18][31][19]
Company history
AMETEK traces its origins to 1930, when its predecessor, American Machine and Metals, Inc., was incorporated in Delaware. The company later reshaped its portfolio, including a major 1988 restructuring and divestiture of businesses that refocused it around three principal business groups.[1][32]
In the following decades, AMETEK expanded through acquisitions, including Drexelbrook Engineering in 1999 and Haydon Enterprises in 2010. David Zapico became chief executive officer in 2016 and chairman in 2017, succeeding Frank Hermance as CEO.[33][34][35][36]
AMETEK continued to broaden its businesses with the completion of its approximately $1.9 billion acquisition of Paragon Medical in 2023. In 2025, it completed the acquisition of FARO Technologies, expanding its portfolio through another major transaction.[37][38] [1][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]
