MTD

Mettler-Toledo International Inc.

A maker of precision weighing and measuring instruments used in laboratories, food production, and chemical plants. The company was born in 1989 when Swiss Mettler Instruments, founded in 1945 by Dr. Erhard Mettler, merged with the American Toledo Scale Company, founded in 1901 in Toledo, Ohio. Its name pairs the two founders' legacies, and its roots trace to Mettler's invention of the single-pan analytical balance, which made lab weighing faster and easier.
