Midwest Metrology

What Midwest Metrology does

Midwest Metrology is a private, founder-owned calibration and repair laboratory founded in 1998 and headquartered in a single facility at 341 Smith Drive in Clayton, Ohio. The firm delivers ISO/IEC-17025 accredited measurement instrument calibration across five disciplines (electrical, temperature and humidity, pressure, torque, and physical and dimensional) primarily to automotive manufacturers, university engineering and testing laboratories, utilities, brewing companies, and pipeline integrity operators. With 1-10 employees, it operates as a small regional specialist competing in a fragmented US calibration services market, with primary client interaction conducted by phone and a quote-based engagement model.

The technical foundation rests on industry-standard reference equipment: Fluke 5522A and 5700A multi-function calibrators for electrical instruments, a Fluke 6270A pressure controller covering vacuum to 15,000 PSI, a Hart Scientific zero-point dry-well for temperature work, and a Thunder Scientific humidity chamber. The principal digital asset is the Midwest-Metrology.Live! customer web portal developed with BenchTop Software, which provides self-service access to calibration histories, certificates, and instrument records. The lab is accredited to ISO/IEC-17025 through A2LA and additionally compliant with ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994, ISO9002, MIL-STD-45662A, and ISO10012, producing NIST-traceable certificates as default and A2LA-accredited certificates on request.

Revenue is generated through professional services on a quote-per-equipment-list basis with no public pricing tiers. Two distribution channels carry the business: laboratory-based calibration at the Clayton facility (with included pickup and delivery within delivery range) and onsite calibration at customer locations (which eliminates instrument downtime, shipping costs, and damage risk). Customer acquisition is driven by direct, relationship-based selling anchored to the company website and phone contact, with no observable digital marketing, content, or social media presence. Two principals (Justin and Bill Sierschula) handle commercial and technical inquiries, respectively.
