EG&G is now called PerkinElmer

17 Jun 2002

The New York-based company EG&G Inc will be trading as PerkinElmer Inc from today. The name change completes the company's move from a government-focused business to a company that is exclusively focused on optoelectronics, life sciences, analytical instruments and aerospace.

In the summer of 1999 EG&G completed the acquisition of Perkin Elmer Analytical Instruments and sold its government contract services business to the Carlyle Group.
