Mitutoyo America Corporation is expanding its presence in the Southeast with the opening of a new 11,200-square-foot Lakeland Metrology Service Center, located at 3150 County Line Road in Lakeland, Florida. Positioned between Tampa and Orlando, the facility is designed to support one of the fastest-growing manufacturing corridors in the region.

The new center reflects the continued investment by Mitutoyo in bringing precision measurement expertise closer to manufacturers. As industries across Florida continue to grow, particularly in aerospace, defense, medical manufacturing, and advanced machining, the demand for reliable metrology services and training has increased. The Lakeland facility aims to meet that demand by providing local access to advanced technologies, technical expertise, and accredited services.

Mitutoyo will mark the opening with a two-day grand opening event on May 6–7, 2026. The celebration will begin with a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by invited local leaders, industry partners, and members of the press. The second day will open to the broader metrology community, welcoming engineers, quality teams, manufacturers, educational institutions, and decision-makers for a full day of engagement and learning.

Attendees of the open house can expect a mix of education, hands-on experience, and networking. Guided facility tours and live demonstrations will showcase advanced measurement technologies in action, while technical seminars will address real-world challenges such as surface finish evaluation, measurement accuracy, and digital data collection with real-time statistical process control.

The event will also feature an interactive “Passport to Precision” program, encouraging visitors to explore six demonstration stations throughout the facility. Participants will have the opportunity to win prizes, including Mitutoyo tool kits and a $1,000 gift certificate. In addition to the technical programming, the open house will offer a relaxed environment with refreshments, BBQ food truck dining, and opportunities to connect with Mitutoyo engineers and application specialists.

Beyond the event, the Lakeland Metrology Service Center is built to serve as a long-term resource for manufacturers across the region. The facility includes a modern technology center for product demonstrations, a large-volume inspection laboratory, and an education center focused on workforce development.

Manufacturers will have access to a range of services, including contract inspection and part programming, metrology training, accredited calibration services, and maintenance and repair. As part of Mitutoyo America and their network of Metrology Service Centers, the Lakeland facility will soon be offering measurement services under our expanded ISO/IEC 17025 scope of accreditation. The Lakeland location represents the 10th U.S. facility for Mitutoyo America Corporation, expanding a growing network of regional service hubs. By establishing a presence in the Florida region, Mitutoyo is strengthening its ability to support customers with localized service, faster response times, and direct access to metrology expertise.

For manufacturers looking to improve quality, reduce risk, and advance their measurement capabilities, the Lakeland Metrology Service Center offers a new point of access to the tools and knowledge needed to compete in today’s demanding production environments.
