Henry Troemner founded Troemner over 160 years ago in 1838. The company started as a manufacturer of scales and weights in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. From the beginning, Troemner earned a reputation for being a manufacturer with high quality standards. In 1856, Troemner received a contract to make scales for the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia. The success of this contract led the company to expand its product line of scales to include bankers` scales, precision weighing equipment for jewelers, prescription scales for pharmacists, and laboratory scales and balances for chemists.

By the time of Henry Troemner`s death in 1873, the Troemner name had become internationally respected in the commercial world of weights and balances. The company was inherited by Henry Troemner`s sons and remained a family business for three generations until 1955.

In 1955, Mr. Laird Park purchased the company from the Troemner family. At this time, the company needed to be revitalized to return to its former glory. Mr. Park brought his knowledge, experience and enthusiasm to this venture to bring Troemner into the 20th century. Under his direction, the balance and scale product line was updated to meet market demand and the production of precision weights began in earnest. In 1958 Troemner published its first comprehensive catalog of standard weights. Troemner next offered its own weight calibration service for customer weights. This important service is one that continues to this day.

In addition to updating Troemner`s products and services, Mr. Park rehabilitated Troemner`s facilities. In 1963 Troemner moved to 6825 Greenway Avenue in Philadelphia. At this site, Mr. Park expanded and increased efficiency in a modern manufacturing facility for Troemner`s products.

During this time Troemner entered into the field of manufacturing laboratory equipment. This product line started with a series of magnetic stirrers, and grew to include hotplates and combination hotplate/stirrers of various sizes. As Mr. Park continued to grow Troemner`s customer base, he realized there was a need in the industry for gas cylinder safety products and he added those items to Troemner`s growing product line.

In the 1990`s, Troemner began the process of achieving ISO 9001 certification. Troemner was one of the first companies in the Philadelphia area to earn ISO 9001 certification in 1993. Shortly after this milestone, Troemner began the process of gaining accreditation of its mass metrology laboratories by the NIST administered National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) and its United Kingdom equivalent, United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS, formerly known as NAMAS). By obtaining accreditation, Troemner is able to provide our customers with certificates that meet or exceed the strictest recognized standards.

In 1995 Mr. Park officially retired and Mr. Abele who joined Troemner in 1972 became Troemner’s new owner. In May 1999, Troemner moved across the Delaware River to Thorofare, New Jersey.
