Tyco International was founded in 1960 by Arthur J. Rosenburg, Ph.D. who  conducted experimental work for the US government. The business was incorporated as Tyco Laboratories in 1962, and its focus turned to high-tech materials science and energy conversion products for the commercial sector. In 1965 it began to acquire other companies to fill gaps in its development and distribution network. As a result, Tyco's thrust changed to manufacturing industrial products. Mule Battery Products becomes Tyco's first acquisition. In a period from 1973 to 2001 Tyco enjoyed Growth through Acquisitions. Undersea fiber optic telecommunications cable, Fire Protection Systems, construction products, steel pipe and tubular products, water and gas flow control products, electronic security systems
were all areas of business for the holding company.

Raychem designer, manufacturer and distributor of high-performance electronic products for OEM businesses and a broad range of specialized applications and AMP Incorporated acquired for $11.3 billion were the acquisitions that made Tyco Fasteners an important element of the portfolio in 1999.

In subsequent years, acquisitions make Tyco the largest fire alarm company in the world.

Then came the scandal of the boss who spent $135m (£88m) of company money as if it were his own, antiques, art and foreign trips in a "blurring" of company and personal finances over the last five years. The board of Tyco, which includes former Conservative party treasurer Lord Ashcroft had to explain if they were aware of the spending spree and, if not, why not. Tax evasion, avoiding sales tax on works of art worth $13m and the prospect of four years in jail if convicted, brought about a fall from grace. In 2002 Tyco shares tumbled from more than $60 to just above $12. Huge loans to executives that are carried on company balance sheets as assets are common in the US. The practice is being outlawed.

In 2007 Tyco completed its separation into three independent companies. The new Tyco International is composed of five business segments: ADT Worldwide, Fire Protection Services, Safety Products, Flow Control and Electrical & Metal Products.
