Our Mission & Vision

Rugged Controls was founded in Seattle, Washington in 1990 under the name Measurement Technology Northwest (MTNW). From the start, our focus was to design and manufacture precision instrumentation for challenging marine and industrial environments. As our systems earned a reputation for reliability in the field, we expanded our product lines and engineering capabilities to meet increasingly complex customer demands.

In 2016, we rebranded as Rugged Controls to better reflect the durability and performance that define our solutions today. Our equipment is trusted by operations around the world where data accuracy is critical and downtime is not an option.

Over the years, we’ve remained fully focused on the same core underlying goals:

Our Mission is…

To deliver smart instrumentation that empowers people in extreme environments to operate with accuracy and confidence.

Our Vision is…

To be the trusted global standard for precision control and monitoring solutions.
