More than 50 years in Europe

When the company was founded, its main task in the center of Europe was to make the MITUTOYO brand well-known in the European market. To achieve this goal, an agency system with one distributor per country was introduced. General agencies were established in Western European countries, with which they have confidently and in good cooperation strengthened their business base in Europe. At the same time, MITUTOYO also opened up the Eastern European market. However, due to the political situation, the possibility of activities in socialist countries was very limited. Despite this, Mitutoyo participated in many industrial exhibitions, visited national purchasing associations, etc. In addition, Mitutoyo presented its measuring instruments in demonstration vehicles at customers’ premises.

Düsseldorf was the first choice when looking for a suitable location for the new headquarters, which was finally founded in 1968 under the name “Sampoh”. Later, an agreement was made to establish an office in the city of Rhine (Rhein) on Sternstraße.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, MITUTOYO’s business in Europe expanded rapidly, and the Sternstraße headquarters soon reached its limits. A new building was needed, and Neuss-Norf on the other side of the Rhine was chosen. In 1974, a new office and warehouse building was built, which was partially expanded to its current size.

Today, MMITUTOYO is represented in Europe by 13 sales companies and general contractors covering adjacent markets. Under the strategic management of Mitutoyo Europe GmbH, customers have access to an extensive production, sales and service network with more than 85 offices in 33 European countries.

At its M3 Solution Centers, MITUTOYO introduces its customers to the latest measurement technologies and provides top-quality solution engineering to support their business. MITUTOYO metrology institutes are dedicated to providing technical education that improves customers’ measurement evaluation technologies. The company has calibration laboratories that are ISO/IEC 17025 certified. By providing calibration services for measuring instruments, MITUTOYO contributes to the development and maintenance of quality control and assurance systems for customers throughout Europe.
