Taylor Instrument Companies was founded in November 1851 by George E. Taylor and David Kendall in Rochester, New York. Its industry is water control instruments and its headquarters were in Rochester, New York (1851-2000) and Warminster, Pennsylvania (2000-present).

It merged with the Ritter Pfaudler Corporation in 1968 and became part of the newly created Sybron Corporation. It was later sold to Combustion Engineering Inc. in 1983. In 1989, Combustion Engineering was taken over ABB Asea Brown Boveri Ltd., and in 1990 the Taylor company was split up into two parts: ABB Kent-Taylor (merger between Taylor Instruments and ABB Kent Industrial Measurements) and ABB Industrial Systems.
