O.I. Corporation ("OI") was organized in 1963 in accordance with the Business Corporation Act of the State of Oklahoma under the name Clinical Development Corporation (CDC), a building contractor for medical and research enterprises. In 1969, CDC changed its name to Oceanography International Corporation ("OIC") and moved its headquarters to College Station where it changed its focus to oceanography equipment. This led to OIC's production of water-quality measurement instrumentation, as oceanography equipment sales declined. In 1969, O.I. Corporation developed the Company's first TOC analyzer. Since that time, the Company has become recognized worldwide as a provider of quality analytical instrumentation. The Company changed its name to O.I. Corporation in 1980.
The Company acquired ALPKEM in 1992, Floyd Associates in 1994, CMS Research Corporation in 1994, Laboratory Automation, Inc. in 1995, and General Analysis Corporation in 1999. CMS Research Corporation continues to operate in Birmingham, Alabama as a wholly-owned subsidiary of O.I. Corporation. O.I. Corporation was acquired by ITT Corporation in November of 2010.
