What Mark-10 does

Mark-10 Corporation is a private, family-owned designer and manufacturer of force and torque measurement instruments, founded in 1979 and headquartered in Copiague, New York. The company produces a portfolio of more than 670 products organized around a modular, interchangeable architecture spanning five series of digital force gauges (Series 2 through Series 7, priced $495 to $3,450), five series of digital torque gauges, Plug & Test interchangeable force/torque sensors and indicators, ergonomics test kits, motorized and manual test stands, wire crimp pull testers, coefficient of friction gauges, and materials testers. Supporting software includes MESUR Lite for basic data collection and MESURgauge Plus ($710) for advanced plotting and statistical analysis, plus the MF100 USB sensor interface for connecting third-party load cells. All products are engineered and manufactured in-house in the United States and carry a 3-year warranty with lifetime support.

The company monetizes primarily through one-time hardware and software license sales, supplemented by NIST-traceable calibration services, factory repair (RMA), and accessories. Distribution combines direct ordering (phone and website), U.S. and international authorized distributors covering approximately 50 countries, ergonomics-specialist resellers, and catalog/web sales, with active participation in EWPTE and IMTS trade shows. Customer base is highly diversified across at least eight verticals — automotive, aerospace, electronics, food and beverage, healthcare/medical devices, industrial manufacturing, consumer products, and materials/chemicals — with named logos spanning Tesla, Boeing, NASA, Apple, Pfizer, 3M, Caterpillar, and others. The company holds CE and UKCA certifications and operates a European Service Center in Switzerland for repair and calibration. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
