## History

[edit]

Christian Hans Stoelting[1] created Stoelting (originally called Chicago Laboratory Supply and Scale Co.) in 1886 and quickly grew it into a successful supplier and producer of physiological and psychological products.

From 1903 to 1943, Stoelting was the principal producer of psychological assessments and therapeutic products[2] of the material culture of American psychology, with products that were supplied globally.[3]

At the St. Louis Universal Exposition of 1904, C.H. Stoelting Co. was awarded Medals for Anthropometric Apparatus and Psychometric Apparatus.

A number of Stoelting products from that early time period are available to see in museums and in displays globally.[4]

Stoelting continues to produce products in psychology, with an inventory of many notable assessments, including the Leiter-3, Merrill-Palmer-Revised, and Stroop, Color & Word Test, among others.[5] In addition, Stoelting has a number of products in physiological assessment, including products for assessment of laboratory animals, dynamometers, and instruments for precise measurement.
