What PT does

PT Limited is a New Zealand-headquartered industrial weighing equipment manufacturer specializing in strain gauge-based load cells and complementary digital indicators, conditioners, transmitters, junction boxes, and surge protection devices. The product portfolio spans core load cell types — Low Profile, Tension, Shear Beam, Compression, Miniature, Donut, Single Point, and Special Purpose/Shackle Pins — alongside a tiered indicator family (PT200MB, PT200M, PT210 series, and the PT610/PT620/PT630 Azure Series), the latter supporting up to 16 industrial fieldbus/Ethernet protocols with sub-4ms response times. The company also produces stainless steel strain gauge pressure transducers for hydraulics and process control, and ships free proprietary configuration software (AzComI/IA, AzComT, VIEWER, EtherX). Quality is anchored by ISO 9001 certification and OIML R76 type approvals at Accuracy Class III with 10000 scale intervals, plus EU and NZ MBIE trade approvals across multiple product lines.

The company operates through a vertically integrated footprint: HQ, R&D, QA, Approvals, International Shipping, and Testing functions are in Auckland; Sales is in Sydney; and manufacturing and operations sit in a wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary, with finished-goods stores and UPS/DHL shipping partners enabling global delivery. Revenue is generated almost entirely through direct hardware sales via the ptglobal.com e-commerce platform under a quote-based pricing model with quantity discounts; account registration is required to view pricing and place orders, and the standard warranty is 36 months on load cells versus 12 months on other items. PT predominantly serves major OEMs and large industrial operators in platform scales, truck scales, hopper scales, tank weighing, and process control, while its quantity-discount structure also accommodates small and medium operators. The customer base spans Australia, China, and New Zealand operationally, with global shipment of products. There are no named customer logos, no disclosed revenue, no disclosed funding, and no identified parent company or external investors.
