Serving Maple Grove, MN
Maple Grove covers about 33 square miles of land in northwest Hennepin County, Minnesota, roughly 14 miles northwest of downtown Minneapolis, crossed by Interstate 94 and State Highway 610 near the Interstate 494 and Interstate 694 junction. Its technical base is weighted toward medical device development, contract manufacturing for regulated customers, defense systems work, and utility and hospital operations. FDA device establishment registrations recorded inside the city limits include Boston Scientific Corporation at Two Scimed Place, Vascular Solutions LLC at 6464 Sycamore Court North, Nypro Inc. at 11400 73rd Avenue North, NeoChord, Inc. at 10900 73rd Avenue North, Francis Medical, Inc. at 7351 Kirkwood Lane North, and Nextern at 10601 Fountains Drive North. Federal award records list BAE Systems Land and Armaments L.P. at 10000 Mission Drive and Carl Zeiss Industrial Quality Solutions LLC at 6250 Sycamore Lane North, and EPA facility records list Great River Energy at 12300 Elm Creek Boulevard under electric power generation. Maple Grove Hospital, an acute care hospital at 9875 Hospital Drive, operates alongside the private use heliport the FAA identifies as 20MN. The city also runs a community water system, PWSID MN1270020, serving roughly 82,000 people from groundwater sources. Work of this kind rests on dimensional measurement, torque and force, pressure and vacuum, temperature and humidity, electrical measurement, mass and balance, and flow, each needing documented uncertainty and traceability to national standards. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Because Maple Grove sits outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup radius, we serve Hennepin County through two intake paths: prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-business-day turnaround, and onsite calibration appointments at your facility. Each calibration is performed against documented procedures, traced through NIST, and accompanied by an audit-ready certificate that supports AS9100, ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 quality systems.

Calibration demand in Maple Grove comes mainly from medical device design and manufacturing, defense and vehicle systems work, dimensional metrology and quality engineering, electric utility operations, and hospital and clinical engineering. Tra-Cal calibrates calipers, micrometers, height gauges and gauge blocks, torque wrenches and torque transducers, pressure gauges and pressure transducers, temperature probes, thermocouples and data loggers, environmental chambers, balances and weight sets, multimeters and electrical sources, and flow and humidity instruments.
