Fifty-five years is a long time in any business. In the industrial scale industry — where precision, reliability, and trust are everything — it means something even more. We started Arlington Scale in 1968 out of Bloomfield, NJ with a simple mission: give businesses across New Jersey and the tri-state area access to expert weighing solutions they could actually count on. More than five decades later, that mission hasn’t changed a bit.
What 55 Years of Industrial Scale Service Actually Looks Like
When people ask us what we’re most proud of after 55 years, it’s not a number or a product line — it’s the relationships. We’ve worked with businesses of every size and type, from food manufacturers to chemical plants, logistics hubs to airline cargo operations. We’ve seen equipment evolve dramatically, from analog dial scales to digital load cells and fully integrated in-motion weighing systems. Through all of it, our commitment to quality industrial scale service in New Jersey has stayed constant.
Here’s what that experience translates to for our clients:
- Deep product knowledge — We’ve worked with virtually every major scale manufacturer and can recommend the right solution for your specific application
- Fast, accurate calibration — Our technicians know what proper calibration looks like and can spot issues before they become costly problems
- Service you can reach — After 55 years, we’re still a local Bloomfield, NJ business with real people answering the phone at (973) 748-8000
- Industry-wide expertise — From warehouse floor scales to precision lab balances, we’ve serviced it all
How the Industrial Scale Industry Has Changed — and What Hasn’t
The weighing industry has undergone a real transformation since 1968. When we opened our doors, most scales were purely mechanical. Today, we work with sophisticated digital instrumentation, wireless data systems, dimensioning technology, and automated in-motion scales that can weigh products without ever stopping the line.
What hasn’t changed is the fundamental need for accuracy. Whether you’re a food manufacturer trying to hit exact package weights or a trucking company managing legal-for-trade compliance, the stakes are just as high as they’ve always been. Calibration still matters. Proper installation still matters. And having a knowledgeable service partner in your corner — one who’s seen the industry evolve — still matters more than ever.
Serving New Jersey Businesses for Generations
We’re proud to be a homegrown New Jersey company. From our base in Bloomfield, we’ve built long-standing relationships with clients across the state and throughout the broader tri-state area. Many of our customers have been with us for decades. Some started working with us when their parents ran the business, and now they’re the ones calling us for their next calibration or equipment upgrade.
That kind of trust isn’t built overnight — and it isn’t taken lightly.
Here’s to the Next 55
We’re grateful for every client, every service call, and every problem we’ve helped solve over the past 55 years. And we’re not slowing down. We continue to expand our product offerings, invest in our team’s training, and bring the same dedication to every job that we brought on day one.
If you’re looking for a scale service partner you can rely on — for calibration, repair, new equipment, or expert advice — we’d love to earn your trust the same way we have with businesses across New Jersey for over half a century.
