HISTORY

In 1962, Western Scale Co. Limited was founded in Vancouver, British Columbia by David W. Frewin. From early roots as a 3 person venture (Mr. Frewin, his wife and one employee) the company grew steadily before moving to the Vancouver suburb of Port Coquitlam in 1974.

Having built up experience in process control systems, Western Scale adapted early as the weighing industry shifted towards electronics. Since the development of its first electronic indicators in 1976, WSCL has become Canada's leading manufacturer of industrial weighing instruments. Today, WSCL has evolved into a comprehensive operation, employing approximately 50 people in a 20,000 square foot manufacturing facility.
