Keysight begins operation as electronic measurement subsidiary of Agilent, prior to separation in November

The electronic measurement business of Agilent Technologies Inc of Santa Clara, CA, USA has begun operating under the name Keysight Technologies Inc of Santa Rosa, CA. It will remain a wholly owned subsidiary of Agilent until early November, when the separation (which was announced on 19 September 2013) is expected to be completed and Keysight begins trading on the NYSE under the symbol KEYS.

Keysight provides electronic measurement instruments and systems and related software, software design tools and services used in the design, development, manufacture, installation, deployment and operation of electronic equipment. The firm is said to hold the number one position in its industry segments of communications; aerospace and defense; and industrial, computers, and semiconductors.

“As we launch our new company, we are mindful of our rich heritage as part of Agilent and prior to that, Hewlett-Packard,” says president & CEO Ron Nersesian. “We are also mindful of our responsibility and commitment to our stakeholders, including customers, our shareholders and our employees,” he adds. “We look forward to the many opportunities ahead that will allow us to focus solely on electronic measurement.”
