Big things typically begin with small beginnings. This is no different for Mitutoyo. Established in 1934, Mitutoyo founder Yehan Numata began manufacturing only micrometers. The business plan was to manufacture high-quality micrometers that were affordable for consumers.

As technology increased, Mitutoyo adapted to the times. Initially this meant manufacturing other necessary measuring tools.

The 1990’s brought to the forefront the emergence of the internet and high-powered computers and software. For the precision measurement tool industry, this meant more changes in the development of new tools. This meant development and manufacturing of more complex and highly-accurate measuring instruments.
