Thomson

Thomson is a leading manufacturer of precision mechanical motion control components around the world and invented anti-friction linear technology that is used in its bearings over 60 years ago. Recognised as a global leader in mechanical motion technology, Thomson was acquired in 2002 by Fortive Corporation and since then the product range has grown significantly. With over 70 years of global experience in a number of diverse industries, Thomson has the ability to create products suitable for a range of environments.

Some of the industries that have used Thomson’s linear technologies include: packaging, factory automation, material handling, medical, clean energy, printing, automotive, machine tool, aerospace and defence. Boasting a worldwide service and support infrastructure Thomson has a number of field service engineers and support teams that are able to help when needed, further ensuring that support is provided when and where it is needed.

Since being taken over by the Fortive Corporation, Thomson can now offer a full range of solutions from control drive, motor, power transmission and precision linear motion technologies. With modified versions of standard products a routine rather than an inconvenience, Thomson products offer white sheet design solutions across their entire product portfolio.
