PCE Americas, Inc. is the North American branch of PCE Instruments, a leading supplier of test, measurement and inspection equipment. PCE Instruments (PCE) got its start in the Hochsauerland district of Germany in 1999, when three process control engineers joined forces as consultants to the pulp and paper industry. However, the demand for specialized measuring instruments soon became clear, as the three engineers were asked not only to optimize processes, but also to procure the required equipment. Therefore, based on customer need, the business model changed in 2000 to include the supply of measuring, laboratory, control and weighing technology.

PCE Deutschland GmbH soon won its place as a major player in the test, measurement and inspection equipment market, providing customers with its own PCE-branded measuring instruments as well as others from reputable manufacturers. As the company’s success grew, additional offices opened in countries around the world.

In 2015, PCE added product development to its repertoire. The DIN EN ISO 9001-certified PCE Product and Development Company GmbH produces customized measuring devices tailored to meet the needs of each customer’s unique practical application.

Today, PCE continues to deliver a mix of consultation and procurement services, ensuring the company remains a trusted partner for measuring, laboratory, control and weighing solutions. PCE’s current product portfolio features 500+ instruments with applications in engineering, research and development, process control and quality assurance.
