Precisa conquered markets in Africa, Asia and South America in days when these areas were still undeveloped and working there required an adventurous approach and the ability to manage risk, resources, and cultural differences superbly. Precisa was willing to invest in new products at times in history when this was extremely challenging. The current owners have adopted the same philosophy: The core business of weighing has been redefined and revolutionised. Precisa has become the market leader in many markets and product areas. The objective is to maintain Precisa among the top three high-precision gravimetric technology providers world-wide.
