ASHCROFT was founded more than 160 years ago. Our mission is to focus on innovation, challenge limits, and provide reliable measurement products. And while times have changed, our sense of purpose has not. From our earliest days to the present, our history has been one of continuous innovation around the safety and success of our customers. The profound influence of steam power on mechanization promoted the Industrial Revolution and accelerated the process of modern civilization. However, this has come at a huge cost, with failed components triggering high frequency explosions, causing massive damage and injury to equipment and personnel. In response to the growing demand for more reliable ways to measure and control stress, inventor Edward Ashcroft began to conceive of new component designs to improve safety.
