Gilson has been a long standing scientific instrument manufacturing company since the 1950s when Gilson Medical Electronics began; through the 1970’s when the pipette division was created, and today as new products are being developed. The Gilson Museum is being constructed in the foyer of Gilson’s main building. The company history will be preserved and displayed for guests and employees to enjoy.
Gilson employees assisted with many aspects of the project. Atika El Sayed organized, gathered memorabilia and oversaw the whole project. Larry Paskey re-assembled old units to make almost all of them work again. Lyle Rickman assisted with moving around heavy items and hanging portraits in the proper area. The Marketing Department restored old newspaper clippings and designed product and logo timelines to be hung in the museum.
Gilson has always been very innovative; we want to demonstrate this innovation to our visitors, encourage
innovation, and remember the individuals who made this company successful for the past five decades.
