思百吉（Spectris）是一家精于专业技术的仪表和电子控制装置公司，于2001年5月由富瑞集团（Fairey Group）更名而来，标志其从英国航空和工程转型为一家创新性技术的供应商，旨在帮助其全球客户提高业绩。

本公司由Richard Fairey爵士于1915年创办，始称富瑞航空有限公司。起初是作为一家水上飞机制造商得到客户认可。20世纪30年代至40年代，本公司生产的飞机声名鹊起。20世纪50年代航空行业发展合理化后，本公司进行多元化经营并在一些非航空业领域发展其工程技术能力，如海上、能源和过滤及筛选。

20世纪80年代，公司着重发展高技术业务，如电子和系统工程。1987年，Pearson实现管理层收购，并于1988年在股票交易所上市。

20世纪90年代，本公司侧重于其在电子领域的发展，收购了一些公司，并剥离了电绝缘体和液压传动装置业务。1997年，公司收购了Burnfield公司中最为重要的Malvern公司。Servomex plc于1999年被收购。Spectris AG（德国）公司于2000年7月出资1.71亿英镑收购了4家仪表与控制装置公司，此举是本公司作出的最大的一桩收购行动，并对于公司的仪表和控制装置业务有重要战略意义。2001年5月，公司更名为Spectris plc，标志着集团重组行动的开始。

2001年，出售了2家主营过滤筛选系统公司。2003年公司将最后将剩下的Fairey工业陶瓷公司售出。2002年9月，思百吉（Spectris）收购了菲利普公司的菲利普分析仪器部门，现名为帕那科分析仪器（PANanlytical）。

Spectris, the specialist technology-based instrumentation and electronic controls company, changed its name from Fairey Group in May 2001, marking the transformation of the business from UK aviation and engineering to a provider of innovative technology for the improvement of customers’ performance worldwide.

The company was founded by Sir Richard Fairey in 1915 as the Fairey Aviation Company Ltd. Initially recognised as a manufacturer of seaplanes, the company achieved renown during the 1930s and 1940s with its aircraft. Following the rationalisation of the aviation industry in the 1950s, the company diversified and established its non-aviation engineering capabilities in areas such as marine, energy and filtration.

During the 1980s the focus was on high technology businesses such as electronics and systems engineering. 1987 saw a management buy-out from Pearson and the company was listed on the Stock Exchange in 1988.

During the 1990s the company concentrated on building its electronics sector, acquiring a number of companies and disposing of the electrical insulator and hydraulic actuator businesses. In 1997, the company acquired Burnfield, of which Malvern was the most significant company. Servomex plc was acquired in 1999. In July 2000, the acquisition of the four instrumentation and controls businesses of Spectris AG of Germany for £171m was the largest ever made by the company and marked an important strategic addition to the company’s instrumentation and controls business. The reshaping of the group was marked with the change in name to Spectris plc in May 2001.

In 2001 two of the filtration businesses were sold, with the remaining business, Fairey Industrial Ceramics, sold in March 2002. In September 2002 Spectris acquired the Philips Analytical business of Philips which is now called PANalytical.
