Pressure metrology

Examples for our production processes and methods

JAKO operates its own special machine construction division to make sure that JAKO measuring instruments meet the highest quality and performance requirements and can be cost-effectively produced. The example of dial pressure gauges gives you some insight into our different production methods and facilities.
