<h3>About Faria Beede Instruments</h3><p>Since 1956, <strong>Faria Beede Instruments, Inc.</strong> has been engineering some of the most trusted analog and digital instrumentation in the world. Founded in North Stonington, Connecticut, the company began its journey as a tachometer supplier before growing into a globally respected manufacturer serving the marine, automotive, military, and industrial markets. With more than six decades of hands-on manufacturing experience, Faria Beede has built a reputation for producing gauges that are as rugged as they are readable.</p><p>What sets Faria Beede apart is its vertically integrated approach to manufacturing. From in-house design and component fabrication to final instrument assembly, the company controls every stage of the production process. This commitment to quality means that every gauge leaving the facility meets exacting standards — a necessity when you supply instrumentation to the U.S. military, heavy construction equipment builders, and more than 300 boat manufacturers worldwide.</p><h3>A Legacy Built on Precision</h3><p>Faria Beede's roots in the automotive industry gave it a foundation for precision that has only deepened over time. The brand expanded from its early work with major OEM manufacturers into a full-spectrum instrumentation supplier, offering everything from simple voltmeters and fuel level gauges to sophisticated multi-function displays and GPS speedometers. Today, their catalog spans a remarkable range of functions — ammeter, depth sounder, hourmeter, oil pressure, temperature, trim, synchronizer, and more — available in a wide variety of sizes and styles to suit virtually any dashboard.</p><p>Boaters and boat builders trust Faria Beede for good reason: the same durability standards developed for military and rescue vehicle instruments carry over directly into their marine product lines. Bezels come in over 20 finish options including stainless steel, gold, brushed aluminum, powder-coated aluminum, and titanium, allowing for clean, professional-looking installations whether you're refreshing an aging dash or specifying instruments for a new build.</p><h3>Faria Instruments Product Highlights</h3><p>Two of Faria Beede's strongest product areas are their broad <a href="/7341-faria-instruments-gauges-200483">Gauges</a> lineup and their specialized <a href="/7341-faria-instruments-tachometer-gauge-1488">Tachometer Gauges</a>.

Their tachometers, in particular, are a cornerstone of the brand's heritage — available in configurations compatible with gas and diesel engines alike, with options for integrated hourmeters and warning lights.</p><p>For OEM customers, Faria Beede also offers custom capabilities including proprietary gauge designs, pre-wired panels, and volume purchasing programs through major wire harness manufacturers.
