Oakland was founded with the introduction of an industry-changing plastic film thickness gauge, and soon became well-recognized as “the leading supplier of computer-controlled benchtop gauges”.  Later, Oakland expanded its product line to become the only full-line manufacturer of test instruments for the blown and cast film extrusion industries.  Oakland is now focusing on expanding its hardware and software platforms to address the needs of the web-product industries including paper manufacturing, converted packaging, and non-woven textiles.
