Mettler Toledo: A Company Overview

Mettler Toledo Products Fuel the Manufacturing Process

Accuracy and precision are two elements of research and development that play a critical role in deciding the end result of experimentation or manufacturing.

To achieve these qualities in your work, you need access to instruments that are easy to use with excellent operations.

Mettler Toledo International Inc., a swiss manufacturer with a long history, is one such company offering scale and analytical instruments used in daily experiments to obtain accurate and reliable results. These instruments have a wide range of applications in laboratories, industries, and food retailing areas.

Mettler Toledo was originally two separate companies, both of which had a concerted passion for creating analytical and precision balances. And because it was clear a partnership would benefit each party, the two companies were sold and merged in 1989 as Ciba-Geigy AG.

The merger allowed the newly formed Ciba-Geigy AG to spread its roots in 18 different countries, and after acquiring Ohaus Corp, it was renamed Mettler Toledo, Inc. The company is currently headquartered at Greifensee, Switzerland, and is headed by Patrick Kalentech. It is also incorporated in Ohio.

This article will walk you through the Mettler Toledo scale products and their applications in labs, industry,  food, and more.
