About Intercomp

In 1978, a playbook for a new kind of company began in Medina, Minnesota. Founded by Ted Miller, Intercomp started with a clear mission: to become a leader in the world of portable weighing and measurement. The company identified a niche, focusing on manufacturing high-quality, portable scales for industries where precision and mobility are critical. The initial strategy was to serve specialized markets that were underserved by traditional, stationary scales. This led Intercomp into diverse sectors such as transportation, aerospace, and even auto racing. By engineering durable and accurate portable systems, they provided solutions for weighing vehicles by the axle, checking the balance of an aircraft, or fine-tuning a race car's chassis for optimal performance. This focus on specific, high-value applications allowed the company to build a strong foundation. A key development in Intercomp's journey was its innovation in wireless technology. The introduction of their RFX® Wireless Weighing Technology removed the need for cumbersome cables, a significant step forward that enhanced the portability and efficiency of their systems. This technological edge helped solidify their position as the world's largest manufacturer of portable weighing and measurement products. Headquartered in Minnesota with manufacturing facilities in the UK, the privately-held company has established a global footprint, proving that a focused, bootstrapped approach in a specialized hardware market can lead to long-term, worldwide success.
