From development of the world’s first steam boiler meter to innovations that ushered in the
age of distributed processing, the Bailey name has long been associated with excellence
in control and instrumentation. Founded in 1916 by the US inventor Ervin G. Bailey, the
company soon grew to become a global force in automation.
In 1989, Bailey Controls merged with Italy’s Elsag Group to form Elsag Bailey Process
Automation, achieving top market positions in various process control and instrumentation
segments.
