Thomson Industries is still in business and is a leading American manufacturer of linear motion control and automation components, not to be confused with Thomson consumer electronics. Thomson Industries, headquartered in Radford, Virginia, specializes in linear bearings, ball screws, linear actuators, and profile rail systems used in industrial machinery, medical equipment, and aerospace. The company was founded in 1945 and has grown steadily, and in recent years it has expanded through acquisitions and new product launches in electric actuators and smart automation. It is now owned by Regal Rexnord Corporation after Regal Beloit merged with Rexnord's motion control division. There is also Thomson, the French consumer electronics brand that made TVs, which had a different fate with bankruptcy and licensing. If you meant Thomson Reuters or Thomson HVAC, the context differs. For linear motion, Thomson Industries continues to operate factories in the US, Mexico, Europe, and Asia, and it remains a major supplier for automation. If you were referring to Thomson Industries that made air conditioners or other HVAC products, that was likely a small regional distributor that was acquired by larger HVAC groups like International Comfort Products. The main Thomson Industries people search for today is the motion control company, which is thriving and has not closed, but has been consolidated under Regal Rexnord ownership.
