Birmingham Toledo

What Birmingham Toledo does

Birmingham Toledo Inc. is a privately held regional dealer and service company founded in 1946 and headquartered in Graysville, Alabama. The company sells and services three core product categories: industrial weighing equipment (floor scales, crane scales, process weighing), point-of-sale (POS) systems (including hospitality POS, grocery POS, cash registers, and accessories), and retail food weighing equipment (scales, wrappers, slicers, food machines). It supplements these hardware lines with dedicated service/repair operations and software integration services for each category, and has extended its catalog into digital signage and safety equipment.

The company operates a direct field sales and service model, sending technicians on-site for scale repair, equipment installation, and integration work. Its revenue is generated primarily through hardware resale (as a multi-brand dealer) and recurring service revenue tied to the installed base, with the website functioning as a top-of-funnel marketing channel and Facebook used for customer engagement. No public pricing, contract structures, or software-as-a-service components are disclosed.

Birmingham Toledo self-identifies as the largest scale dealer and scale service company in the Alabama region. Its customer base is spread across industrial manufacturers, retail food establishments (supermarkets and grocery operations), and POS retail/hospitality businesses, with no named anchor customers, no disclosed revenue figures, and no parent company or external investment backing referenced in the available data.
