Belfort Instrument operates in the aviation and aerospace component manufacturing sector, producing instruments used for environmental measurement and meteorology alongside related aerospace components. Based in Baltimore, Maryland, the company traces its origins to 1876 when Julien Friez founded Belfort with a goal of delivering instruments characterized by uniform quality and reliability at fair prices to set industry measurement standards. Historically, Belfort Instrument collaborated with the U.S. Weather Bureau, contributing to advances in meteorological instrumentation. By 1896, the Belfort Observatory had become the United States' first meteorological observatory and instrument laboratory. Its products have been deployed in mission-critical applications around the world and beyond, from wind sensors used by the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, to instruments developed to support early efforts to map the Moon's surface.
