I’m Matthew Baker, the founder of Gauge Advisor, an authorized technical sales and applications firm representing the world’s leading manufacturers of precision measurement and process-control systems. I specialize in closing the gap between advanced manufacturing technology and real-world production reliability. I didn’t stumble into the industrial measurement and process control sector. I chased it, driven by a fascination with the complexity of high-precision manufacturing processes. My passion lies in ensuring critical systems, from extrusion lines to cleanroom labs, run correctly and consistently.
My career began working directly with extrusion and coating applications. This hands-on experience was invaluable and led me to focus on process measurement and industrial equipment sales. Now, as a growing independent technical sales firm, I help manufacturers solve complex, real-world problems by delivering proven, reliable tools and process control solutions.
Today, Gauge Advisor represents a select group of the industry’s most proven industrial technology suppliers. We partner with manufacturers across North America and Europe to implement processes they can trust. Based in Southern California, we collaborate with leading innovators like LaserLinc, Advanced Blending Solutions, Scantech, FMS, Maag, and AIM Systems to integrate reliable measurement and control technology into demanding production environments.
Whether your team is struggling with measurement drift, navigating stringent quality audits, or wanting to realize cost savings through measurement automation, our focus remains on practical solutions that deliver results on the production floor.
