Rochester Gauges, LLC is a multi-national company headquartered in Dallas, Texas, with manufacturing facilities in Dallas, Texas USA; Mexico City, Mexico; Brussels, Belgium; and Shanghai, China.Rochester Gauges began operations with their first liquid level gauge in 1913 as Rochester Manufacturing located in Rochester, New York. From its inception in 1913 the company grew to include several other product lines. In 1958, Gas Equipment Company, a distributor of propane-related parts and supplies purchased Rochester Manufacturing’s propane gauge line and moved it to Dallas, Texas creating Rochester Gauges. Rochester Gauges was successful with the propane gauge line and later expanded and acquired the remaining product lines from Rochester Manufacturing.
As one of the first companies to develop a liquid level gauge for the propane industry, Rochester continues to be a leading innovator not only in the propane market but also in agricultural, aircraft, automotive, industrial, marine, off-highway, locomotive, refrigeration and process equipment markets across the world. Today, Rochester Gauges has significantly expanded its manufacturing capabilities with additional manufacturing facilities in Mexico, Belgium and China.
Rochester’s products include liquid level gauges, liquid level sensors, liquid level senders, liquid level switches, aircraft fuel and engine instrumentation, diaphragm temperature sensors, pressure sensors, bimetal thermometers-electrical system safety disconnect switches, and flow sensors. Many features of gauges and sensors used in various industries today can be contributed to innovations developed by Rochester over the last 100 years.
