Message from the Presiden

Dedicated to supporting
the foundations of
industry since 1903

For over 120 years, Tanaka Scale Works has supported the industry with accurate measurements essential to quality and reliability. Today, as labor shortages grow due to Japan’s aging population and declining birthrate, we are evolving our role, offering more practical measurements and ensuring uninterrupted measurement systems to improve efficiency.

We are developing forward maintenance solutions to repair equipment before it fails, and AI-powered systems that turn measurement data into greater value and efficiency. Leveraging our legacy of accuracy and responsive service, we are partnering with others to bring these innovations to life.

Just as we have supported Japan’s industrial growth since the late 19th century with our accurate scales, we are now expanding into emerging markets to support their industrial growth. Since 2011, our Vietnam base located in Dong Nai province has been developing unique, high-value measurement systems with local partners to help drive industrial growth across Asia.

Even as we take on new challenges, our core mission remains unchanged: providing scales that deliver accuracy for decades. A sale is just the beginning; true value lies in long-term precision. With the customer always in mind, we continue to pursue what more we can do to uphold that responsibility.

This long-term mindset of cherishing long-term relationships with continued support is a spirit inherited from our seniors. While we have over 120 years of history, we remain a venture-minded team, committed to staying open, flexible, and forward-looking as a manufacturer of reliable, long-lasting scales.

Looking ahead, we are committed to expanding our legacy of accuracy, a standard of society’s trust, across the globe and into the future. Across generations, we will carry on this spirit, embracing new challenges with our enduring “scale manufacturer” soul.

Our Mission

With our spirit as
a scale manufacturer,
we will continue to sustain
the foundations of industry
and connect people together
in trust to make
the world an even
happier place.
