Cooper-Atkins Corporation

What Cooper-Atkins Corporation does

Cooper-Atkins Corporation is a temperature management technology company headquartered in Middlefield, Connecticut, founded in 1890 and operating continuously for over 130 years. The company designs and manufactures instruments and wireless monitoring solutions spanning thermometers, thermistors, humidity sensors, and connected monitoring systems. Its product portfolio is organized into five lines: Foodservice Controls and Monitoring, Healthcare Monitoring, Thermistors (for HVAC-R maintenance), the TempTrack catalog, and Cold Chain Connected solutions. Products are positioned as core operational components for facility-level customers rather than standalone hardware, supporting regulatory compliance and supply chain integrity.

The company serves four primary vertical segments: foodservice (commercial kitchens, restaurants, foodservice operations), healthcare (patient safety and regulatory compliance environments), food processing (manufacturing and cold storage), and industrial/HVAC-R (professional technician maintenance). Cooper-Atkins generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of temperature management instruments, with solution-based services bundled alongside. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers are directed to sales contacts or the Copeland e-commerce shop for purchases.

Cooper-Atkins operates as a brand and subsidiary under Copeland LP, which is itself a subsidiary of Emerson Electric Co. Go-to-market is enterprise B2B field sales, targeting professional technicians, facilities managers, and safety compliance officers. Distribution leverages Copeland's global commercial sales infrastructure and direct e-commerce platform. The company's claimed differentiators include 130+ years of brand recognition, integration with Copeland's broader cold chain solutions ecosystem, and trusted standing in strict regulatory compliance environments globally.
