Inside Avery Weigh-Tronix Manufacturing
With a unique history and decades of experience, Avery Weigh-Tronix continues to prove that manufacturing excellence drives innovation and growth. We have always taken pride in our production processes. Take a look at our newest video where our General Manager, Andrea Issendorf, will walk you through what makes our manufacturing processes different.
W&T Avery was founded back in the 1730s in Digbeth Birmingham, England. W&T Avery made high-quality industrial and commercial scales for use throughout England and the UK. Some 240 years later, Weigh-Tronix was founded in 1979 in Armstrong, Iowa, before moving to Fairmont, Minnesota, USA. Weigh-Tronix started as a weigh bar (loadcell) manufacturer for agricultural products before expanding into different fields like truck scales, deck/platform scales, and scale accessories.
History of Avery Weigh-Tronix
Avery and Weigh-Tronix merged in 2000, becoming Avery Weigh-Tronix, and then was acquired by ITW in 2007 as part of the Test & Measurement Group. Joining ITW has been a phenomenal opportunity for Avery Weigh-Tronix to grow with the support of an internationally recognized organization.
A Look into the Future
The weigh bar and truck scale have become our legacy, but we also lead the market in light capacity technology. For example, our ZM series weight indicators are highly robust technology, used across the globe. We strive to manufacture cutting-edge and efficient solutions for a wide range of industries. This focus provides customers with the most reliable and cost-effective weighing solutions on the market.
