The first American airplane specifically designed for battle was prototyped in our building. During its heyday, over 3,000 people worked at the plant. Today, keeping the spirit of innovation we make state of the art machines that automatically calibrate pressure gauges used in airspace, biomedical and pharmaceutical industries.

Our company was founded in 2008 and is the only one in the world that offers high-accuracy, fully automatic calibration systems for vacuum gauges.

Vacuum Metrology is an ISO 9001:2015 certified company specializing in the design and manufacture of high-performance, precise equipment for industrial, aerospace, and military markets.

Vacuum Metrology is proud to keep the manufacturing tradition of Boston alive!
