Company Description
Gems Sensors liquid level sensors, transmitters, float switches. pressure switches, pressure sensors, flow switches, zener barriers, temperature switches, turbine/ paddle wheel flow sensors, miniature solenoid valves
 

 

Gems Sensors is a wholly owned subsidiary of Danaher Corporation, acquired in September 1997. Danaher (Danaher.com) designs, manufactures and markets, industrial and consumer products in both the Tool & Component and Process / Environmental Controls industries.

 

The Gems Sensors story begins almost 50 years ago in 1955 when the company founder, Edward H. Moore, developed a level indicator in his basement. It was patented in 1959. Along with an associate, Gordon Seigle, he established the Gems Company (GS for Gordon Seigle, EM for Ed Moore).

Gems' first commercial success was a bilge switch for the small boating industry. Rapid acceptance of Gems' products for marine and industrial applications led to continual expansion of facilities and staff-from a 6,500 sq. ft. building to Gems' current home of 60,000 sq. ft. in Plainville, Connecticut, USA.

Today, Gems manufactures hundreds of standard and custom products and employs a full staff of engineers, manufacturing personnel and technical sales associates. Gems has become the OEM's premier source for fluid sensors and controls.
