Thermo Electron's predecessor was Thermo Electron, which was founded in 1956 with a venture capital of only 50,000 US dollars, and its initial product was a heat engine that converts heat energy into electrical energy.
The thermoelectric company began to enter the instrument industry in the 1970s.
At that time, the thermoelectric company had a keen insight into the wide range of requirements for environmental monitoring equipment , so the thermoelectric company established a department to develop air pollution monitoring equipment.
In 1977, the thermoelectric company separated the department into the environmental instrument department, which also became the profitable business unit of the thermoelectric company at that time.
