Business history
GE Inspection Technologies supplied non-destructive testing and industrial inspection systems.
The business became part of Baker Hughes through the 2017 GE Oil & Gas combination and was renamed Waygate Technologies in 2020. That 2020 event was a rebranding, not a separate GE sale; it does not establish a sale date for every GE Sensing activity.
