Cross Company History - Delta Scale Inc. 1

Founded in 1982, Delta Scale, Inc. was an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited provider of scales, weighing systems and calibration services. Their corporate portfolio included four company divisions; industrial, retail, food service, and laboratory. Based in Charlotte, NC they were one of the largest scale companies in the area servicing customers in several industries across their scope of divisions.

In 2013, Delta Scale was acquired by J.A. King which went onto become our precision measurement group. Today, the same operation in Charlotte continues to serve customers as a full service calibration laboratory, offering both scale calibration services along with a range of other precision measurement solutions.
