Any of you out there know where to purchase commercial produce scales? The internet has failed me, all I get are slightly shady looking discount places. The Dept. of Consumer Regulatory Affairs has also failed me. I need like 100 of them so I was hoping there would be a resource list of places to purchase scales on the DCRA website but I guess that was expecting too much helpfulness from a government agency.

Contact the manufacturer, or a commercial fixture supplier.

Here’s [Hobart](http://www.hobartcorp.com/products/weigh-wrap/scales/) (manufacturer).

Here’s [Wasserstrom](http://www.wasserstrom.com/) (supplier).

Hubert is another supplier to grocery stores and supermarkets. I also found similar scales listed on [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com). I’d imagine, though, that someone who needs a hundred of these things already works at a grocery store or chain of stores and has a regular equipment supplier.
