Poughkeepsie / New York / United States
In 1955 Dorsey Gage Company was incorporated in New York State by its founder, Theodore F. Luty Sr., and his wife Helen Luty. The company began in Hyde Park, New York as a machine shop specializing in the manufacture of simple inspection gages and subcontract machining. From the very beginning, the company aim was to provide precision craftsmanship and customer satisfaction. As the company grew, it began to design and build equipment, which addressed the specific needs of its customers. This exposure in turn provided the basis for the continuing development of Dorsey Gage Companys standard inspection products. In 1975 Dorsey purchased the instrument division of Hamilton Watch Company of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. This acquisition added the well-known and respected Hamilton-Datcon dial indicator instruments to the Companys products. During 1976 Dorsey relocated to the 35, 000 square foot building at 253 Mansion Street in the City of Poughkeepsie, New York. In 1986 Dorsey Gage acquired Pexit, an English company known throughout Europe and Asia for their high quality, precision optical comparators. The design and facilities of Pexit were relocated to Poughkeepsie, New York, where it became Optical Metrology Division of Dorsey Gage. Since its inception, the Optical Metrology Division has adapted the Dorsey philosophy of providing a top quality inspection instrument that exactly matches the customers requirements. Throughout this entire development of the Dorsey family of inspection products, the company also continued the sale of their craftsman services. These services included ; instrumentation, contract machining, inspection, automation and the manufacture of special tooling and equipment. While catering to a variety of companies, their most prominent customer was IBM Corporation ; the areas largest. It was through these efforts that Dorsey Gage Company became involved in a project known as the electrostatic chuck program. On March 1, 2001, Dorsey Gage Company was sold. Prior to the closing the shareholders spun off Metrology Division of the Company to the divisions management. The new company, Dorsey Metrology International, consists of all the employees and assets of the former Metrology Division and continues the manufacture and distribution of inspection instruments, gages and optical comparators. Following Brown & Sharpes closure of the Standard Gage plant also in Poughkeepsie New York, Dorsey Metrology International announced their intention to manufacture and support many of the products that were previously manufactured by Standard Gage prior to the plant closure. On April 18, 2002 Dorsey acquired much of Standard Gages specialized tooling and machinery at auction and subsequently hired key former Standard Gage employees to continue manufacturing many of the core products. Key products include the Standard style of bore and snap gages that have been the long established industry standard. It is Dorseys intention to provide Standards customers with the same high quality replacement gages, interchangeable replacement parts, modifications and specials to meet their current and future demands. The precision gage-making legacy of the Dorsey Gage Company, founded in 1955 by Theodore Luty, Sr., continues in this millennium as Dorsey Metrology International.
