Bartlett Instrument

Bartlett Instrument Company was established in 1946 as Electric Design & Manufacturing Company in Burlington, Iowa, by Paul Bartlett and two partners. Initially, we supplied industrial, OEM and military users with top quality meters. Those instruments were used for many diverse applications such as radio communications, laboratory equipment, industrial machinery, etc. Paul Bartlett bought Electric Design & Manufacturing in 1967 with another partner and the name of the company was changed to Bartlett-Emery Instrument Company. Mr. Bartlett and his new partner, Mr. Emery, moved the company from Burlington, Iowa, to a location in Fort Madison, Iowa, that same year. In 1980, the name of the company was again changed, this time to Bartlett Instrument Company, again reflecting a change in ownership to a family owned business. Today, Paul Bartlett's son, Dave, serves as the company president, and is joined in business by his sibling, Barb Fowler. The Bartlett family and its employees are dedicated to continuing the long history of providing quality products and superior service.
