Baker's Scales & Dough Scales — Professional Mechanical Scales Made in the USA

Precision is everything in a professional kitchen, especially since bakeries selling by weight legally require NTEP certification. A small error in a high-volume bakery compounds quickly, hitting both your consistency and your legal compliance. This is why generations of bakers choose Penn Scale. They need a mechanical baker’s scale that measures to the quarter-ounce reliably, ensuring every loaf is perfect and every sale is compliant—no batteries or calibration menus required.

Penn Scale has been manufacturing mechanical baker’s scales in Philadelphia since 1923. We build what we believe is the only true 32 oz baker’s scale with 1/4 oz increments still manufactured in the United States today. Every scale leaves our Philadelphia factory hand-built by skilled craftspeople using solid cast iron construction, stainless steel beams, and heat-treated components — the same techniques refined over 100 years of continuous production. These are not imported scales dressed up with an American brand name. They are made here, with 100% USA-manufactured components, and they are built to last decades in a commercial kitchen environment.

If you are a professional baker, a pizzeria owner, a culinary school instructor, or anyone who needs an accurate, reliable, and durable dough scale that will still be working perfectly 25 years from now — you are in the right place.
