Omega Engineering
Omega Engineering is an instrumentation company headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut with its main factory in Bridgeport, New Jersey. and with sales offices around the world.〔 Omega does business with the United States Navy, NASA and other industrial corporations. It is currently owned by British-owned conglomerate Spectris plc.〔〔
The company was founded in 1962 by Betty Hollander at her kitchen table while she was raising 3 kids.〔 Omega began as a thermocouple manufacturer but slowly began to produce other types of instrumentation. Today, Omega produces devices that measure everything from temperature to pH.
In 1996, Tim Lloyd, an 11-year employee of Omega and a network administrator within the company, was fired. Three weeks after he was fired, he unleashed a hacking "time bomb" within Omega's computer systems, deleting the software that ran all of Omega's manufacturing operations at its factory in Bridgeport, New Jersey.〔 Omega had to spend nearly $2 million to repair the programs, and lost nearly $10 million in sales; this led to the layoff of 80 employees, although Lloyd's lawyer stated that Omega's losses were far smaller.〔〔〔 Tim Lloyd was later convicted of computer sabotage and was sentenced to 41 months in Federal prison.〔 The Tim Lloyd hacking is considered to be one of the largest employee sabotage cases in the United States history.〔 (The case also aired in a Forensic Files episode "Hack Attack", episode 39 of season 8.)
In April, 2011, Betty Hollander died, and the company was turned over to her husband Milton Hollander.〔 Later that year, Milton Hollander sold Omega Engineering to British-based Spectris plc for $475 million.〔〔 The current CEO of Omega Engineering is James Dale.〔
