Mitutoyo Corporation (株式会社ミツト) is a Japanese corporation specializing in measuring instruments and metrological technology, headquartered at Takatsu-ku, Kawasaki, Kanagawa – Japan. Founded by Yehan Numata (沼田 恵範) on October 22, 1934, Mitutoyo’s philosophy at that time was to make high-quality micrometers in quantities that made them affordabl for all industry. This philosophy was expanded in the next several decades to include a wider product offering focused on mechanical, dimensional gaging products, such as calipers, dial indicators, and other measuring tools.

In the 1970s, Mitutoyo’s dimensional gaging equipment to include electronic, or digital, measuring tools. During this time it also began to offer larger, more complex and sensitive measuring instruments, including optical comparators, form measuring equipment, and coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). As statistical process control (SPC) was introduced, Mitutoyo led the world in the development of output gages, interfaces, data collectors and analysis software to take advantage of this new metrological science.

When the computer made its way into the field of metrology, Mitutoyo again shifted its focus to include this technology into its product offering and push measuring accuracies into the sub-micrometre range. Today, Mitutoyo presents its 6,000+ products as integrated, computer-based metrology systems, where they can be interconnected to form closed-loop-measuring networks.

When you buy Mitutoyo products, you are buying the ultimate in precision and competitive tool life. Match the most expansive portfolio of precision-engineered metrology products that only comes from Mitutoyo delivered by METALEXTRA.
