Pacific Scientific

Pacific Scientific was created in Rockford, Illinois in 1919. Throughout the mid to late 20th century, the company expanded into an Armament Division, Aerospace, and industrial divisions. Pacific Scientific was acquired by Danaher Corp. in 1998. PacSci produced generators, motors, alternators, servo drives, AC/DC servo motors, and general automation equipment. Now, Pacific Scientific drives and motors are commonly used in packaging and printing operations world wide. The company has moved on from general purpose automation to defense technologies including energetic materials, ordinances, and lasers. However, many of their former automation products can still be made-to-order or can be sourced from around the world.
