Mitutoyo

The world’s largest metrology company was founded in 1934 by Yehan Numata
with one product – the micrometer.

Mitutoyo’s philosophy at that time was to make the best mechanical micrometer
in the world. But also to produce them in quantities that made them affordable
and available to all of manufacturing so they could improve the quality of the
products they manufactured.

This philosophy was expanded in the next several decades to include a wider
product offering focused on mechanical, dimensional gaging products.

Mitutoyo focused its R&D and production efforts on creating the most advanced
micrometers, calipers, indicators and other measurement tools in the world.
