Our company was officially established in 1999 as a spin-off from Hewlett-Packard, carrying forward the test and measurement legacy into a focused, agile enterprise. We began with a historic initial public offering that was the largest in Silicon Valley history, raising $2.1 billion.nnOur headquarters are in Santa Clara, California, where we develop and provide instruments, software, services, and consumables that empower laboratories across the globe.
