History of Floyd Australia

Our original company J A Floyd & Co was founded over eighty years ago by James Atkinson Floyd and has operated since that time in Melbourne, Victoria.

The first manufacturing facility was located at Moonee Ponds in Melbourne and operated there for over thirty years and then North Essendon for a similar period of time.

J A Floyd deservedly gained an industry-wide reputation for being the leading manufacturer and supplier of a wide range of industrial measuring products, particularly Bourdon, Capsule, and Diaphragm Seal type Pressure Gauges, in addition to a range of Industrial Thermometers.

By 2004 J A Floyd remained the only manufacturer of industrial measuring equipment still operational in Australia and it was in that year a program of change was put in place to develop a more focused and innovative manufacturing and sales-oriented company.

During 2004/05 the company undertook both a name change to Floyd Instruments Pty Ltd and saw the relocation of all production, repair, sales, and administration to new facilities situated in Tullamarine.

In 2021, the company was rebranded as Floyd Australia which symbolizes a new and exciting era where the current owners & the Management Team of Floyd Instruments Pty. Ltd sees employee ownership as the best way of transforming the Floyd business moving forward. Building the future of the business and its employees has been an important objective for the current owners and Management Team, and it is now time to engage with a forward business plan and a change of ownership model to bring in employee ownership.
