HunterLab ColorFlex EZ spectrophotometer

HunterLab is an American pioneer in the field of color measurement, founded in 1952 by Richard Hunter, the inventor of the Hunter Lab color space. Their original mission was to provide objective, mathematical descriptions of color to replace subjective human observation. Today, HunterLab continues to design and manufacture precision instruments like the ColorFlex EZ, which is commonly used in industrial laboratory settings to measure the reflectance and quality of food products, chemicals, and building materials.

The brand is headquartered in Reston, Virginia, and maintains its status as an independent private company. All their products, including the one shown in the image with its distinctive keypad and top-loading measurement port, are engineered and primarily manufactured in the United States. The company operates globally through a series of regional distributors who handle local sales and technical support.
