Measure for measure, Renishaw's numbers add up. The company makes automated measurement systems for precision machining and other industrial processes. In addition to its core lines of touch-trigger and optical probes, Renishaw manufactures scanning, encoder, calibration, and spectroscopy systems designed to ensure fine tolerances in machine-tooling processes. European customers account for nearly 40% of sales; US clients for a third. Co-founders David McMurtry (who invented the touch-trigger probe while working for Rolls-Royce) and John Deer own 36% and 17%, respectively, of the company.
