Our Story
Since 1950, we've built a legacy of precision, craftsmanship, and reliability by designing and manufacturing virtually every component of our weighing systems under one roof. From rugged truck and floor scales to load cells, indicators, and electronics, every product is crafted to meet the demanding standards of today's world. We don't just assemble scales - we engineer, build, calibrate, and support them, ensuring quality and consistency from raw material to the finished system.
- Founded in 1950 by W.H. Perry in Webb City Missouri, Cardinal began as a small operation serving industrial weighing needs.
- From those early days, we expanded - integrating

In-House Manufacturing Excellence
Fully Integrated Manufacturing -
Built From the Ground Up
At our facility, we produce nearly every component ourselves - from
Whether it's a massive truck scale, a floor or bench scale
Precision Load Cells & Electronics -
The Heart of Accuracy
Our strain-gauge, hydraulic, and digital cells are manufactures, wired, calibrated, and tested in our own load-cell production facility.
These load cells are the critical link between mechanical force and accurate measurement - we build them to exacting tolerances, then integrate them into
Full Product Range - From Bench to Truck,
Everywhere In Between
Our product portfolio spans floor, bench, conveyor, livestock, truck and railroad scales, and more - plus peripheral equipment like indicators, remote displays, printer, and data solutions.

Quality, Reliability, and Single-Source
Why it Matters
Consistency and peace-of-mind: Because we control every stage - design, build, calibration - from raw materials to final assembly, there are fewer weak links and fewer variable outside our control.
Seamless integration: Every component - load cell, electronics, structure - was designed
