Adam Equipment Celebrates

40th Anniversary in 2012

Adam Equipment, a global provider of precision balances and scales, proudly celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2012. Since its inception, Adam has supplied professionals with quality balances and scales for various uses, including weighing, counting, price calculating and inventory control.

Founded in 1972 in the United Kingdom by Alan Storey, the company has established a network of facilities to streamline manufacturing and distribution of its products. While its headquarters remain in the U.K., Adam Equipment has expanded to include offices in the United States, South Africa, Australia and China. The company remains true to its core philosophy of creating balances and scales that offer the winning combination of speed, performance and value.

"We'd like to thank all our loyal customers, distributors and partners worldwide for their continued support on this journey, as Adam has grown from a U.K. scale maker to become a global force in the balance and scale industry," said Alan Storey, founder and chairman of Adam Equipment, Ltd. "Adam Equipment is energized and focused on developing and delivering products that meet the future needs of our expanding customer base in the industrial, laboratory, education, retail and medical sectors," Storey added.

As a business, Adam Equipment's continued success and development can be attributed to the skills, dedication, enthusiasm and professionalism of the entire Adam team, which is always ready to go the extra mile to meet customer needs. Adam's responsive service brings customers back time and time again. Just ask Richard Thomson of Koyo Bearings Ltd., a longtime user of Adam products.

"Adam's customer service has been consistently excellent," Mr. Thomson said. "I look forward to continuing this relationship in the future."

Balances and scales are used daily in virtually every industry. From waste disposal to developing future medicines, the concept of measurement provides value, continuity and equality. Working closely with its distribution partners, the Adam research and development team strives to create products that meet the various requirements of customer applications. From the initial design to final production, Adam seeks to create intuitive balances and scales that are easy to operate and offer smart, useful features to help boost efficiency and productivity.
