PROFILE |
 |
BNS is going back to the drawing board. Formerly Brown & Sharpe Manufacturing, the company changed its name in 2001 when debts, a low stock price, and a history of losses forced it to sell its metrology instrument business (substantially all of its sales) to Swedish industrial engineering and manufacturing group Hexagon AB. Included in the sale were the company's Measuring Systems Group (coordinate measuring machines), its Precision Measuring Instruments Division (mechanical and electronic measuring tools), and the Brown & Sharpe brand name. BNS's remaining operating unit is Xygent, a measurement software development subsidiary which has yet to see revenues. Hexagon has invested in Xygent as part of the transaction.
