Home  /  What We Make

American-Made Glass & Industrial Thermometers.

From the glass tube to the finished instrument, Echo Therm manufactures every thermometer under one roof in Springfield, Ohio. We supply distributors and buyers nationwide — and we build to your spec.

Our Capabilities

One of America's last glass thermometer manufacturers — and the only one producing at commercial scale for distributors, food processing, refrigeration, and the promotional market.

Every Echo Therm thermometer is made in our own plant in Springfield, Ohio, from the glass tube to the finished, branded piece. Domestic manufacturing means domestic lead times and no container ships in your supply chain. Most of our work is high-volume and built to a buyer's specification: standard runs, replacement components, and proprietary products like the Freeze Watch indicator.

What we manufacture.

Standard catalog or built to spec. Tell us the application and the volume, and we will quote the right product for it.

Glass & Tube Thermometers

Our flagship. Precision closed-glass tubes, mercury-free non-toxic fill, and accuracy that holds unit after unit. Built to take real-world handling instead of cracking the first time they hit a hard surface.

Mercury-freeNon-toxic fillShatter-resistantHigh accuracy

Industrial Thermometers

Rugged instruments engineered for the plant floor: manufacturing, energy, processing, and other demanding environments where a reading has to be right and the instrument has to survive.

Heavy-dutyPlant-floor rated

Advertising & Promotional

Thermometers built to the promotional and novelty format. We supply the instrument — the glass, the fill, the temperature scale. Distributors and promotional product companies handle the face printing on their end.

Promotional formatNoveltyDisplay-ready

Refrigeration & Cold-Chain

Dependable monitoring for refrigeration, cold storage, and poultry and food operations, where temperature accuracy is a compliance issue, not a convenience.

Cold storagePoultry & food

Replacement Tubes & Components

Fresh tubes and components for resellers, collectors, and restoration shops. Whether you are fitting a vintage advertising thermometer or restoring an antique wall scale, we make the glass tube to spec. You finish it, you sell it.

Reseller-readyVintage scalesReplacement glass

Proprietary & Specialty Products

We manufacture specialty products other suppliers can not, including the Freeze Watch freeze indicator. Have a unique application or spec that nobody else will take on? That is exactly the kind of job we quote.

Freeze Watch 9805FW freeze indicator, made in the USA by Echo Therm
Proprietary Product

Freeze Watch freeze indicators.

The freeze indicator trusted across the cold chain is now manufactured by Echo Therm. A single-use ampule that fractures and permanently stains its backing the moment a shipment hits freezing, so you know at a glance whether temperature-sensitive product was exposed in transit or storage.

Non-toxic fill, then accuracy verified so readings stay true.

4

Quality Check

Inspected against our standard before it ships with our name on it.

5

Pack & Ship

Who We Supply

Built for the people who buy in bulk.

Echo Therm sells to distributors, procurement teams, and resellers. If your buyers need thermometers that perform, we make them.

Quality you can feel.

The cheap imported tube looks fine in a catalog photo, until it hits the floor. Ours are built to survive the work, not just the shipment. Nearly 80 years of doing one product well is the difference.

Supply you can count on.

Source overseas and you pay up front and wait on a container ship. Source from Springfield and your order ships fast, on a timeline you can plan around. That reliability is why buyers switch.

Tell us what you need.

Send your product, application, and volume. Someone from Echo Therm will get back to you within one business day, no account, no runaround.
