Protection for
Life
General Monitors is recognized as a worldwide leader in
the development and manufacturing of high tech gas monitoring
and flame detection instrumentation.
By adhering to our corporate philosophies of integrity,
faith in people and creative solutions, we have achieved
a well-deserved reputation for providing quality products
and services that protect lives and property. Emphasis
placed on this goal has led to substantial investments
in research, a continuing focus on technology and engineering
excellence, and a personal dedication to quality at every
level of our operation.
 Placing
these values above profit may seem unusual in today's
business world. However, the fact is that high regard
for business ethics has rewarded General Monitors with
the leadership we enjoy today in the gas monitoring and
flame detection fields. In order to ensure we pursue these
values, we remain a privately held entity owned by key
company executives and in control of our destiny.
General Monitors was formed in El Segundo, California
in 1961 by four aerospace engineers dedicated to providing
hydrogen gas monitoring safety equipment for the United
States space exploration program. This concern for protecting
life in the workplace evolved into a corporate commitment
to provide gas and flame detection instrumentation throughout
the world's energy related industries. In 1965 General
Monitors moved to new facilities in Costa Mesa, California.
Shortly thereafter, Dr. Frank Linville and Mr. Richard
Muchmore purchased General Monitors. Under Dr. Linville's
guidance from 1965 until his death in 1987, and more recently
by Don Edwards, we have prospered and earned
a worldwide reputation as a leader in high quality, innovative
gas monitoring and flame detection products. In February
1991, General Monitors moved into our current facility
in Lake Forest, California. Two corporate commitments
have been instrumental in our success. First, a commitment
to technical innovation and product excellence; and second,
a commitment to our employees to provide an unequaled
work environment in which they can perform their job and
to offer them an opportunity for personal and professional
growth.
It is widely recognized that our significant investment
in research has raised the technical standards within
our industry. Our engineering and product design departments
work to develop leading edge designs to meet customer
demands. New scientific knowledge and application techniques
- developed within the company as well as in the larger
scientific community - are continually reviewed and analyzed.
This never-ending search for better ideas has helped us
constantly up-date our product line over the years.
A commitment from all of our personnel is to ensure that
every product leaving General Monitors has our high quality
standards built into it. Thus, every instrument that comes
off the manufacturing line receives 100% electrical, mechanical,
physical inspection, and elevated temperature testing.
Currently, General Monitors' products are manufactured
in the United States and Ireland. We also maintain a growing
network of sales offices and manufacturer's representatives
worldwide. Backing up this worldwide sales team is an
after-sale service, repair, and spare parts system that
collectively earns us the reputation as the leader in
the gas monitoring and flame detection fields. To support
our customers worldwide, we have offices in Houston, Texas;
Macclesfield, England; Galway, Ireland; Singapore, and
the United Arab Emirates, in addition to our corporate
office in Lake Forest, California.
Celebrating over 45 years in business, General Monitors
stands committed to protect life and property with advanced
technology, highly reliable detectors and superior customer
service.
General Monitors.
