What Michelli Weighing & Measurement does

Michelli Weighing & Measurement is a U.S. industrial services company that sells, rents, calibrates, and repairs precision weighing and measurement equipment for regulated and process-critical industries. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Harahan, Louisiana, the company operates ISO 17025 A2LA-accredited laboratories and a fleet of mobile calibration trucks, serving customers across 18 states through 53 service areas. Its service portfolio spans standard and accredited calibration across electronic, dimensional, force, mass, pressure, temperature, torque, humidity, and environmental measurement parameters, plus scale installation, preventative maintenance, and emergency repair for all makes and models of equipment. The proprietary TRAC Asset Management System provides customers with a digital dashboard for 24/7 access to calibration certificates, service history, and automated maintenance scheduling.

The company's revenue is generated through five primary streams: one-time equipment sales (as an authorized distributor for manufacturers including Avery Weigh-Tronix, A&D Weighing, Mitutoyo, Rice Lake, Minebea Intec, Cardinal, B-TEK, Sartorius, and Fluke), usage-based equipment rentals, recurring professional calibration services, scale service and repair contracts, and custom weighing system development for process automation and data collection. Pricing is uniformly quote-based across all revenue streams with no public disclosure, and the go-to-market model is direct enterprise field sales executed through local account managers and service technicians.

Since December 2023, when private equity firm Summit Park LLC became the parent company, Michelli has executed an aggressive acquisition strategy—completing eight transactions including Pioneer Scale Company, Scale South, American Scale, Greenville Scale Company, Total Scale Service, Industrial Scale & Measurement, and Florida Industrial Scale Co.—expanding the platform from a regional Louisiana operator into a national service network. The customer base is broadly diversified across eleven vertical segments including manufacturing, food & beverage, chemical & petrochemical, transportation & logistics, aggregates & mining, aerospace, laboratory, energy, government, waste & recycling, and agriculture, with no individual customer concentration disclosed.
