What Intercomp does
Intercomp designs and manufactures weighing and measurement solutions for transportation, aviation, military, motorsports, agriculture, and industrial material handling applications. Founded in 1978 and headquartered in Medina, Minnesota, the company operates ISO 9001:2015 registered manufacturing facilities in the United States and the United Kingdom and employs 51-100 people. Its product portfolio spans seven lines: wheel and axle scales, ITS/enforcement weigh-in-motion systems, aircraft platform scales, military scales, racing/auto alignment equipment, agriculture scales, and crane/material handling scales, with proprietary technology platforms including RFX® Wireless Weighing Technology and GaugeSense™ shear-beam load cell technology. Supporting software includes ACWeigh™, iACWeigh™ (an iPad app), IntercompWIM™, and IntercompWeigh™ for data collection and reporting. The company holds a dense stack of legally-mandated certifications including NTEP, OIML R134, UKCA, INMETRO, Intrinsically Safe, and BABA compliance, which serve as barriers to entry in legal-for-trade weighing markets.
Intercomp generates revenue primarily through hardware sales across its seven product lines, complemented by service and calibration revenue from a full-service center staffed by certified technicians, and recurring training revenue through its USAF-authorized Certified Weight & Balance Training program. The go-to-market model combines direct enterprise field sales with a dealer/reseller network and a website-based request-for-quote system; the company also sells through GSA Contract and National Stock Number channels for US government procurement. Pricing is entirely quote-based with no public price disclosure, consistent with enterprise and government procurement norms. Customer segments are diversified across commercial transportation operators, government transportation agencies for highway enforcement, commercial and military aviation operators and MROs, military branches (USAF, US Navy, US Army, NASA), motorsports teams, and agricultural operators, with marquee customers including Boeing, Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines, American Airlines, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, the US Air Force, and the US Navy. The company has 45+ years of industry experience and describes itself as the world's largest manufacturer of portable, under-the-wheel truck scales, with operating geographies spanning North America, Europe, South America, and Asia.
