The inventor of the first bimetal oven thermometer, David G. Cooper, founded The Cooper Thermometer Company in 1885. Since that time, Cooper-Atkins has built a solid reputation as a manufacturer and provider of quality temperature, time and humidity instruments. The Wallace family purchased the Cooper Thermometer Company in 1960.
During the 1960’s, the Cooper Thermometer Company expanded its brand with the development of three cooking lines. The acquisition of the Croydon Thermometer Company further expanded the consumer product line into weather instruments. Two separate marketing groups were established for the consumer and industrial markets to advance these new product lines.
In 1984, The Cooper Thermometer Company purchased the Industrial Division of (Electro-Therm) Electromedics in Englewood, Colorado. This acquisition immediately launched Cooper into the Digital Thermometer business and the company officially became Cooper Instrument Corporation.
Cooper Instrument acquired Atkins Technical in 2001, the leader in thermocouple technology. In 2002, KTG, Inc., was acquired, a developer of wireless solutions including temperature monitoring, handheld PDA applications including inspections and training, and innovative software solutions.
