Flying Eagle-Barton

1925 Barton Instruments is started by Barton Jones and partners to develop forced air transformer coolers.
1943 Barton Jones invents the liquid-filled, dual-bellows unit. This "dry-type," rupture-proof element was a completely new concept in flow, liquid-level, and differential pressure measurement, and led to the heart of Barton's product offering: the Differential Pressure Unit (DPU). The dual-bellows meter continues as the industry standard for mechanical differential pressure measurement.
1949 Barton Instruments Corporation is founded. By now, the company has diversified into the manufacturing of a much wider range of products. One product group however, has remained a constant through the years: the differential pressure instrument line.
1955 Barton Sales Company is created as an independent representative organization. Barton Sales, also located in City of Industry, is today a wholly owned subsidiary.
1963 Barton purchases the Flow Equipment Company, manufacturer of the Floco product line of positive displacement meters used extensively in the oil industry.
1964 Barton purchases two of its sales representatives, Snyder Company (Houston, Texas) and Oilfield Services, Inc. (Calgary, Alberta).
1964 Barton Instruments Corporation is purchased by International Telephone & Telegraph Corporation (ITT).
1977 Barton's business continues to grow along with the expanding energy market, so the company finds it necessary to move to its current quarter-million square foot facility in City of Industry.
1979 Barton United Kingdom becomes a wholly owned subsidiary, responsible for marketing Barton products in Europe and the Middle East.
1985 Barton acquires an additional wholly owned subsidiary in 1985, Stallings and Company, Inc., based in Glenwood, Illinois. This provides Barton with additional sales channels into industrial markets, such as: chemical processing, power generation, nuclear power, pulp and paper.
1998 ITT Barton is acquired by American Commercial Holdings of Lexington, Kentucky, USA, and becomes Barton Instrument Systems, LLC, an independent company, whose sole mission is to provide advanced measurement solutions to the process industries.
