Rosemount Inc. was founded in 1956 with a focus on the aerospace industry growing rapidly under the expansion of the U.S. space program. In 1966, the company diversified its customer base by targeting not only government agencies, but also the commercial processing industry. Its success captured the attention of several high-tech comglomerates; Rosemount was subsequently acquired by Emerson Electric Company in August 1976.
