Who We Are
Our Roots
The original founders owned a precision machine shop called Nichols Machine. In the 1920’s they developed a high pressure, precision gear pump to process rayon, thus creating Zenith Gear Pump company. They subsequently saw new applications for their line of precision gear pumps in the precision fluid pumping and in web coating applications.
In 1949 a new company, Acumeter was founded to service these applications.
May Coating Technologies
May Coating Technologies was founded in 1983 by two partners with roots in the precision coating and pumping industries. May Coating Technologies produced hundreds of high-performing adhesive melters and coating machines serving fortune 500 clients as well as small to medium sized companies.
May Coating Technologies merged with Acumeter in1992.
