What Fortive does
In the company’s own words
Fortive Corporation operates as a diversified industrial technology company headquartered in Everett, Washington with a global workforce exceeding 10,000 professionals across approximately 50 countries. The company's website is www.fortive.com.
Fortive innovates essential technologies to keep the world safe and productive through two primary reportable segments: Intelligent Operating Solutions and Advanced Healthcare Solutions. The Intelligent Operating Solutions segment provides advanced instrumentation, software, and services to tens of thousands of customers, enabling mission-critical workflows across manufacturing, process industries, healthcare, utilities, communications, and electronics. This segment markets products under leading brands including FLUKE, SERVICECHANNEL, GORDIAN, ACCRUENT, INDUSTRIAL SCIENTIFIC, and INTELEX. The Advanced Healthcare Solutions segment supplies critical workflow solutions for healthcare providers, offering instrument sterilization solutions, instrument tracking, biomedical test tools, radiation detection and safety monitoring, and clinical productivity software marketed under brands including Advanced Sterilization Products (ASP), CENSIS, FLUKE BIOMEDICAL, LANDAUER, and PROVATION.
The company was incorporated in 2015 as part of its separation from Danaher Corporation and became an independent publicly-traded company on July 2, 2016. In June 2025, Fortive completed the separation of its Precision Technologies segment into Ralliant Corporation as an independent publicly-traded company. This separation was structured as a tax-free spin-off for Fortive shareholders.
Fortive's competitive positioning rests on the Fortive Business System (FBS), a culture of continuous improvement characterized by disciplined operating cadence, relentless execution, and consistent application of tools and best practices across its portfolio. The company serves diverse end-users including electrical engineers, electricians, technicians, facility managers, first-responders, maintenance professionals, and healthcare providers. Fortive's strategy emphasizes profitable organic growth acceleration, disciplined capital allocation, and building investor trust through its "Fortive Accelerated" initiative, which incorporates emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning to drive innovation and customer value.
