Beware of illegal counterfeit products
We have confirmed that a large number of counterfeit products claiming to be Mitutoyo products are being distributed around the world.
Counterfeit products do not meet Mitutoyo's quality standards and not only may they cause measurement problems, but they may also unintentionally involve customers in illegal activities.
* Please note that we are not responsible for any defects in counterfeit products or any accidents or losses caused by counterfeit products.
