Formation and history[edit]

Toledo Scale Company[edit]

METTLER TOLEDO Laboratory instruments - Laboratory balances, titrators, density meters, refractometers, thermal analysis systems, UVVIS spectrophotometers, p.

Belkin surf and share f7d2101 driver. Allen DeVilbiss, Jr. (1873-1911) was an inventor who lived in Toledo, Ohio, USA. He became interested in the concept of weighing machines and conceived the idea of an automatic computing pendulum scale. He was able to prove his concept with a local butcher, who realized that customers appreciated the automatic computation which eliminated the risk of overcharging. While his invention gained in popularity, DeVilbiss was not interested in making it a viable business.^{[3][self-published source]}

In 1900, Henry Theobald (1868-1924) was fired from his job at the National Cash Register Company. He decided to start his own business, and was convinced that selling the automatic computing scales could be a good business. He solicited additional financial investors and purchased the company from DeVilbiss. On July 10, 1901, the Toledo Computing Scale and Cash Register Company was incorporated.^[3]

By May 1902, Theobald's company was selling more than 100 cash registers with scales per month. By that time, John H. Patterson, Theobald's boss from NCR, threatened to sue the new company for patent infringements. As an alternative, Patterson offered to purchase all cash register patents and property, along with the stipulation that Theobald would no longer engage in the cash register business. The investors, who worried about the costs of patent infringement litigation, agreed to the sale in June 1902. Since cash registers were no longer part of Theobald's business, he changed the name to Toledo Computing Scale Company. Theobald later coined the phrase 'No Springs, Honest Weight' as a slogan for the new company.^[3][3]

In the years that followed, Theobald realized that the weighing scale was the most important part of the retail transaction between the merchant and the customer. He felt that many of his competitors who used spring scale technology, especially Dayton Scale Company, were allowing merchants to cheat their customers by incorrectly calculating the total price of a measured good. He campaigned for more government regulation of weights and measures to eliminate dishonest weighing systems. On October 1, 1907, Massachusetts adopted the first weights and measures laws in the United States.^[4]

In 1912, the company name changed once again, to Toledo Scale Company.^[5] Additionally, a new scale line featuring a double pendulum mechanism and a dial face was introduced and was most suited for industrial applications.^[6]

Mettler Instruments AG[edit]

In 1945, Dr. Erhard Mettler, a Swiss engineer, started a precision mechanics company in Küsnacht, Switzerland. He invented the substitution principle with a single-pan balance, capable of being produced in series. Analytical balances with a single weighing pan gradually replaced conventional two-pan balances in the laboratory.

Mettler diversified its product line in 1970 with the introduction of its automated titration systems, and the acquisition of balance manufacturer Microwa AG. Mettler acquired its 500-employee competitor August Sauter KG, of Albstadt-Ebingen, Germany, in 1971, for its specialized industrial and retail scales.^[7]

In 1980, Dr. Mettler sold his business to Ciba-Geigy AG. A third pillar - after laboratory and industrial - was created: the retail business. Technological progress had made it possible to advance retail scales to instruments for the management of perishable goods.

Mettler Toledo[edit]

In 1989, Reliance Electric sold the Toledo Scale division to Ciba-Geigy AG. The division was then merged with Mettler Instruments. The merger vastly increased the global scope of the company, which, as a result, operated in 18 countries. Mettler acquired another competitor, Ohaus Corp., in 1990.^[7] In 1992, the company was incorporated as Mettler Toledo, Inc.^[6]

In 1996/97, Mettler Toledo, Inc. was sold by Ciba-Geigy AG to the New York-based AEA Investors Inc., in preparation for a subsequent initial public offering. The initial public offering was completed and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange, under the ticker symbol NYSE: MTD.

The resultant company is currently headquartered in Greifensee, Switzerland, with offices for its many brands based around the world.

Operational structure[edit]

Mettler-Toledo is a global manufacturer and marketer of precision instruments for use in laboratory, industrial and food retailing applications. They are geographically diversified with sales in 2012 derived 34% from Europe, 34% from the Americas, and 32% from Asia and other countries. The Company has an extensive global sales and service organization with approximately 6,000, or approximately one-half, of the employees providing sales and service in 36 countries. The Company has a manufacturing presence in Europe, the United States and China.^[2]

Laboratory Instruments[edit]

1952, the measurement of up to one ten-millionth of a gram became possible with the laboratory balance products. 'The Mettler Balance' proved to be a catchphrase in the laboratory.^{[citation needed]} Consequently, with the advancement of microprocessor technology over the years, a wide range of products for the laboratory were invented, like automated titrators and thermal analyzers. Mettler-Toledo laboratory products and technology were able to improve processes in research and development, drug discovery and quality control. Application-specific software for balances provides data analysis opportunities to enhance accuracy, productivity and compliance. The most recent product development for the laboratory was the array-based UV/VIS spectrophotometer which encompasses four different units including UV5, UV7, UV5Bio and UV5Nano.^[8]

RAININ Instrument[edit]

In 2001, Mettler-Toledo purchased Rainin Instrument, LLC, which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Mettler-Toledo.^[9] Rainin supplies precision manual liquid handling instruments and calibration services worldwide. Under the Rainin brand, METTLER TOLEDO provides advanced liquid handling solutions for life scientists worldwide, offering a wide selection of ergonomic manual pipettes, electronic pipettes, multichannel pipettes, patented BioClean LTS and universal pipette tips. Rainin developed the first complete pipetting solution called Pipetting 360°, which significantly increases the reproducibility of basic research steps. An estimated 3 million scientists have benefited from improved research results and reductions in repetitive strain injuries (RSI) with the ergonomic Rainin LTS pipettes and tips.^[10]
