Vacumetrics Inc

Vacumetrics Inc., was founded in 1968 by John Hoppe in Waltham, Massachusetts. The company`s goal was to develop a mass spectrometer for pulmonary gas analysis and mass spectrometer accessories in general. The company introduced its first commercial mass spectrometer in 1970. In 1972, Statham Instruments of Oxnard, California acquired Vacumetrics and moved the company and its key employees to Oxnard. Two years later, Gould Inc., in turn, acquired Statham Instruments and sold the mass spectrometer product line. In 1974, John Hoppe started a new company in Ventura, California called, again, Vacumetrics Inc. VacuMed is a division of Vacumetrics, Inc., specializing in medical instrumentation and supplies.
