Seca has also made a name for itself in the commercial market. Seca scales may be found at the chemist’s, in the fitness studio and in the sauna. Alongside high precision, durability and reliability are the attributes particularly valued here.

Expertise in matters of weighing is also reflected in the Seca range for home use. Given the continuous trend towards wellness and body awareness, high-quality products with an award-winning design are in demand more than ever before. And here, Seca has the right model for every requirement.

The company’s founding goes back to the young master fitter A.C.C. Joachims. He acquired the relevant knowledge from monk Quintenz of Strasbourg, who invented the decimal balance in 1821. Back in Hamburg, A.C.C. Joachims founded a scales factory in 1840, was the first in Germany to produce decimal balances, and sold them all over the world.

After his death, the young engine fitter Frederik Vogel acquired the company. Soon after, sea Vogel & Halke GmbH & Co. became famous for its innovative developments, repeatedly setting market-driving standards over the decades. Seca is still a family business today. As of 1970, Sönke Vogel, a grandchild of Frederik, has headed the company. The company has its own branches in France, England, Switzerland, and the U.S. The head office in Hamburg employs around 100 staff.
