Tescom 历史回顾

HISTORY历史
     Tescom was founded in 1916 by Elmer Smith and originally called Smith Inventions. It was primarily a design and manufacturing operation building a line of oxy-acetylene welding and cutting equipment. Over the years, Mr. Smith added other products and businesses, but for the most part,the oxy-fuel gas apparatus was the primary product that stood the test of time.     Tescom 由 Elmer Smith 于 1916 年创立，最初名为 Smith 发明。它主要是设计和制造氧乙炔焊接和切割设备生产线。多年来，史密斯先生增加了其他产品和业务，但在大多数情况下，氧气燃气设备是经受住时间考验的主要产品。
      In the late 1950’s, a corporate decision was made to expand the business into markets outside of the welding industry and a high pressure regulator business was formed.
     1950 年代后期，公司决定将业务扩展到焊接行业以外的市场，并成立了高压调节器业务。

     At that time the name of the company was changed to TESCOM Corporation, which is an acronym for The Elmer Smith Company Of Minnesota. The high pressure regulator business ultimately grew to be Tescom’s principle business endeavor, i.e., the design and manufacture of specialty fluid control devices for “high tech” industries.While the ownership of the corporation was in the hands of Mr. Smith and his heirs for almost 70 years, that changed in December 1986 with a LBO sale of the company to three corporate officers.
     当时公司名称改为TESCOM Corporation，这是明尼苏达州埃尔默史密斯公司的首字母缩写。高压调节器业务最终成长为 Tescom 的主要业务，即为“高科技”行业设计和制造特种流体控制装置。虽然公司的所有权在史密斯先生及其继承人手中已有近 70 年的时间，但在 1986 年 12 月，公司的所有权发生了变化，公司通过杠杆收购将公司出售给了三名公司高管。
     For the next few years, Tescom consisted of two divisions, the Smith Equipment Division producing oxy-fuel gas welding and cutting equipment and the Pressure Controls Division producing fluid control components. During this period, the Pressure Controls Division established a direct sales office in the United Kingdom.
      在接下来的几年里，Tescom 由两个部门组成，史密斯设备部门生产氧气-燃气焊接和切割设备，压力控制部门生产流体控制组件。在此期间，压力控制事业部在英国设立了直销办事处。
      In 1991, the pressure controls business expanded when a joint venture with Dragerwerk AG was formed to supply the fluid control needs of the European marketplace. This venture was named Drager Tescom GmbH. Initially, the joint venture was an assembly and test operation producing select Drager and Tescom Products in Lubeck, Germany.
      1991 年，压力控制业务扩大，与 Dragerwerk AG 成立了一家合资企业，以满足欧洲市场的流体控制需求。该合资企业被命名为 Drager Tescom GmbH。最初，该合资企业是一家在德国吕贝克生产精选 Drager 和 Tescom 产品的组装和测试企业。
      In 1993, the Tescom Board of Directors made a strategic decision to focus Tescom’s efforts on the fluid controls industry. On September 30, 1995, divestiture of the Smith Equipment Division occurred, thereby closing out the product on which the company had been founded, i.e., the oxy-fuel gas apparatus line. Along with a clear vision with respect to corporate direction, this action retired the LBO debt and facilitated considerable capital expansion in 1995 and 1996.
      1993 年，Tescom 董事会做出了一项战略决策，将 Tescom 的工作重点放在流体控制行业。 1995 年 9 月 30 日，史密斯设备部门发生了剥离，从而关闭了公司成立时的产品，即氧气燃气设备系列。除了对公司方向有明确的愿景外，这一行动还清偿了杠杆收购债务，并促进了 1995 年和 1996 年的资本扩张。
      During this period, the Pressure Controls Division was reorganized to provide a more specific focus on the marketplace. Three divisions were formed: High Purity Controls Division (HPCD), Industrial Controls Division (ICD) and Electronic Controls Division (ECD). To accommodate Drager Tescom’s growth, a new manufacturing facility was constructed in Selmsdorf, Germany in 1997. As the operation continued to expand, it became clear the product line being produced had little relationship to Drager’s core business. On February 10, 2000, Tescom acquired Drager’s ownership of Drager Tescom and the name of the company was changed to Tescom Europe GmbH & Co. KG. At the same time Tescom’s UK sales office became a direct sales office for Tescom Europe (TE).
       在此期间，压力控制部门进行了重组，以更加专注于市场。成立了三个事业部：高纯度控制事业部（HPCD）、工业控制事业部（ICD）和电子控制事业部（ECD）。为了适应 Drager Tescom 的发展，1997 年在德国塞尔姆斯多夫建造了一个新的制造工厂。随着业务的不断扩大，很明显正在生产的产品线与 Drager 的核心业务几乎没有关系。 2000 年 2 月 10 日，Tescom 收购了 Drager 对 Drager Tescom 的所有权，公司名称更名为 Tescom Europe GmbH & Co. KG。与此同时，Tescom 的英国销售办事处成为 Tescom Europe (TE) 的直销办事处。
      In 2005, Tescom was acquired by Emerson Electric Company and became a business unit of the Emerson Process Management - Regulator Technologies Division. The addition of Tescom allows Regulator Technologies to offer its customers one of the broadest lines of regulators in the industry, and increases participation in growing industries. Since joining Emerson, Tescom's sales have continued to grow at a high rate, and we have made significant investments to drive and support the continued growth. We opened a new manufacturing facility in the fastest growing world area - Asia Pacific. In 2006, we started Tescom operations in Shanghai, China, based in a facility that was first opened by Regulator Technologies in 2002. We serve our Asia Pacific customers with Sales, Customer Service, Application Engineering and Design Engineering support. We continue to add to the capabilities of this location to develop a fully functioning Tescom presence for the Asia Pacific market.
     2005 年，Tescom 被 Emerson Electric Company 收购，成为 Emerson Process Management - Regulator Technologies Division 的一个业务部门。 Tescom 的加入使 Regulator Technologies 能够为其客户提供业内最广泛的监管机构之一，并增加对成长中行业的参与。自加入艾默生以来，Tescom 的销售额持续高速增长，我们进行了大量投资以推动和支持持续增长。我们在世界增长最快的地区——亚太地区开设了一个新的制造工厂。
      Also in 2006, we started our sales office in Dubai, UAE to support the major growth opportunities in Middle East and Africa (MEA). Today, we serve the MEA market with Sales, Application Engineering and a Customer Service support team. We have added a regional sales office in Saudi Arabia and serve the MEA market locally through the sales channels in all the major emerging countries.
     2006 年，我们在中国上海开始了 Tescom 的运营，该工厂由 Regulator Technologies 于 2002 年首次开设。我们为亚太地区的客户提供销售、客户服务、应用工程和设计工程支持。我们将继续增加该地点的能力，以便为亚太市场开发一个功能齐全的 Tescom。同样在 2006 年，我们在阿联酋迪拜设立了销售办事处，以支持中东和非洲 (MEA) 的主要增长机会。今天，我们通过销售、应用工程和客户服务支持团队服务于 MEA 市场。我们在沙特阿拉伯增加了一个区域销售办事处，并通过所有主要新兴国家的销售渠道为当地的 MEA 市场提供服务。
