History

Agilent was spun off from Hewlett-Packard Company in 1999 as part of a corporate realignment that created two separate companies. We broke records on November 18, 1999, as the largest initial public offering (IPO) in Silicon Valley history. Agilent’s roots date back to 1939, when Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard started the company that helped shape Silicon Valley and the technology industry. The two founders are renowned for their visionary approach to management and for their commitment to making products that contribute to advances in science and technology.
