Mitutoyo (Schweiz) AG

What Mitutoyo (Schweiz) AG does

Mitutoyo (Schweiz) AG is a wholly-owned Swiss subsidiary of Mitutoyo Corporation, the Japanese parent company publicly listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (Ticker: 7731) and recognized as the world's largest precision metrology manufacturer. Founded in 1988 and headquartered in Urdorf, the company operates as the exclusive Swiss distributor and service provider for Mitutoyo's complete metrology portfolio, spanning hand measuring instruments, coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), vision measuring systems, optical measurement instruments, surface/form/contour measurement devices, hardness testers, linear measurement systems, and supporting data management software (MeasurLink, MCOSMOS, MiCAT Planner, SENSORPAK).

The product offering rests on proprietary technologies including the ABSOLUTE Digimatic encoder system for digital calipers and indicators, the CRYSTA-Apex V PLUS CNC CMM platform, the Quick Vision series of multisensor vision systems, and the QuantuMike high-speed micrometer. An integrated software stack (Digimatic protocol, MeasurLink SPC platform, MiCAT Planner auto-programming) binds the hardware into a unified data ecosystem for real-time statistical process control. The portfolio is supported by an in-house calibration laboratory, training seminars, maintenance contracts, and custom solution development.

Mitutoyo (Schweiz) AG generates revenue through three streams: one-time hardware sales of precision instruments (ranging from hand tools to CNC CMMs priced at several hundred thousand Swiss francs), one-time software licenses (MCOSMOS, MiCAT Planner, MeasurLink), and recurring professional services (calibration, maintenance, training). Distribution is executed through a direct field sales team for enterprise customers, an e-commerce shop (shop.mitutoyo.ch) for smaller instruments and accessories, and an authorized dealer network. Target verticals include automotive, aerospace, medical technology, energy, electronics, general manufacturing, and OEM customers requiring precision quality control across Swiss industry.
