Overview
Advanced Test Products (ATP) was a holding and management organization formed in 1999 through the consolidation of several test and measurement equipment businesses. ATP is best known within the electronics industry for acquiring and managing established test equipment brands, including Amprobe.
Following the formation of ATP in 1999, Amprobe’s operations were relocated from Lynbrook, New York, to South Florida, where ATP managed the company’s continued development, manufacturing, and distribution activities. ATP remained the parent organization until its acquisition by Danaher Corporation in 2006.
