Tech Weigh

What Tech Weigh does

Tech Weigh, operating as Technical Weighing Services, Inc., is a US-based industrial weighing and force measurement company founded in 1986 and headquartered in Griffith, Indiana. The company engineers, manufactures, and installs weighing systems, roll force measurement systems, and strip tension systems for the steel, aluminum, and paper industries, serving customers across the United States and international markets. Its product portfolio spans load cells (stainless steel, aluminum, and specialty series such as TW30000, TWSCA, TWHBB, TWSB3, TWRC, TWSA, TWUDA, and TWLFSB), crane scales, floor scales, truck scales, ladle/billet/coil/tank-hopper scales, and a MillMaster sub-brand of strain gage load cells for rolling mills.

The core technology stack rests on strain gage sensor design (MillMaster Annular, Circular, Slab, and T-Block load cells), the DSP2000S digital signal processor for fast response in harsh mill environments, the iQUBE digital diagnostic junction box with analog-to-digital conversion and remote monitoring, and the proprietary TuffSeal moisture-resistant enclosure. Load cells are engineered for interchangeability with competitor brands including Rice Lake, Revere, HBM, Artech, Celtron, Tedea, Cardinal, and Totalcomp, and the company offers repair, calibration, and replacement services for most makes and models of tension load cells.

The business model is hardware sales of industrial weighing and force measurement equipment, with transactional unit pricing on catalog items (load cells from $245, floor scales from $890–$1,040) and quote-based pricing for higher-value mill systems and instrumentation. Distribution is direct via an e-commerce storefront with account management and quote-request functionality, complemented by phone-based sales support (1.888.59.WEIGH). The company is privately held with no disclosed funding, parent company, or M&A activity, and operates with 11–50 employees from a single manufacturing facility. Jack Clark serves as President & CEO.

• HBK (Hottinger Brüel & Kjær): HBK's HBM brand is a leading global supplier of strain-gage load cells, force sensors, and industrial weighing electronics. Tech Weigh's MillMaster load cells compete directly with HBM products in rolling-mill roll force applications.
• Cardinal Scale Manufacturing: Cardinal Scale manufactures industrial scales, load cells, and indicators for harsh environments and is named among Tech Weigh's compatible-brand competitors. It competes directly with Tech Weigh's crane and floor scale lines in US industrial accounts.
• Rice Lake Weighing Systems: Rice Lake is one of Tech Weigh's most direct US competitors, manufacturing load cells, indicators, truck and floor scales, and industrial weighing systems across the same verticals. The TW30000 load cell is explicitly cross-compatible with Rice Lake's RL20000, underscoring head-to-head competition for the same installed base.
• BLH Nobel (VPG Sensors): VPG Sensors' BLH Nobel brand supplies load cells, weighing instrumentation, and process weighing systems for industrial and metals applications, directly comparable to Tech Weigh's MillMaster and indicator lines.

Emerging players

• Hardy Process Solutions: Hardy specializes in industrial weighing electronics, load cell signal conditioning, and process weighing for food, chemical, and metals markets. Its C2 calibration and digital diagnostics overlap with Tech Weigh's DSP2000S / iQUBE capabilities, though Hardy is smaller and more digitally focused.
