MEATER+ wireless smart meat thermometer

MEATER+ is a smart wireless meat thermometer designed by Apption Labs. Originally founded in Leicester, United Kingdom, in 2015, the company launched through a highly successful crowdfunding campaign. The brand became a global leader in kitchen tech by offering professional-grade internal and ambient temperature monitoring via a smartphone app.

In July 2021, Apption Labs was acquired by Traeger Inc., a prominent American company famous for its wood-fired pellet grills. While the brand management and original engineering roots remain tied to its founders, the ultimate ownership sits with Traeger in the United States. Following the industry standard for consumer electronics, manufacturing primarily takes place in China to leverage specialized electronics supply chains.
