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.
As electronic technology became more widespread in the 70s, Mitutoyo applied electronics to its line of dimensional gaging equipment to include electronic, or digital, measuring tools. During this time it also began to offer larger, more complex and more sensitive measuring instruments, including optical comparators, form measuring equipment, and coordinate measuring machines. As statistical process control (SPC Software) was introduced, Mitutoyo led the world in the development of output gages, interfaces, data collectors and analysis software to take advantage of this new metrology science.

Mitutoyo instruments are some of the most common tools I've been exposed to in my 20 plus years working. I have ALWAYS owned a mitutoyo micrometer and caliper set. My personal set is at least 15 years old and has always delivered accurate measurements and have been maintenance free throughout their lifetime. In the design of machines throughout the years, I've always chosen Mitutoyo micrometer heads and scales in my machines because I trust their reliability. Although they're priced on the high side, they tend to pay themselves off with years upon years of trouble free service.

Mitutoyo has one of the largest catalogs of measuring devices as they supply everything from go/no go gages to high prescision tool maker's microscopes.

Strengths: Measuring Devices
Needs to improve: None
We have used a variety of items from Mitutoyo, here and there, but we mainly use their microscopes. Their microscopes are built to last, strong and durable and yet their optics are so delicate and precise. It's such a strange dichotomy that only a skilled company can produce. Their attention to detail that is put into their microscopes are amazing. Every knob is where it should be, it just makes sense to a trained professional.
Strengths: microscopes, detailed oriented products
Needs to improve: Superb service and quality products comes at a price

Overall we were decently satisfied and will continue working with them.

We use mitutoyo calipers to measure equipment in our inspection criteria line up. Their calipers are excellent quality and we have never had any issues with using them on the line. Mitutoyo will come down to your facility and send a tech to do calibration on them. Pricing is fair and their staff is friendly and knowledgable. We use them for medical devices but these can be used for other industries as well.
Strengths: calipers, measurement equipment, customer service, speed.
Needs to improve: none that i can think of
For testing and calibrating our medical machines, we use their micrometers. the specs are accurate but the readings are trippy sometimes. Customer service is very knowledgeable and detailed on their product. On the contrary, this product is expensive and your have to re-calibrate their micrometers if you drop it by accident due to its delicacy.
Strengths: reliable, useful, always on time, reliable customer service and knowledgeable staffs.
Needs to improve: Their micrometers is pricey and you have to re-calibrate their micrometers once you drop it due to its delicacy.
