CDN Measurement Tools

CDN Measurement Tools, officially known as Component Design Northwest (CDN), has functioned as a primary global authority in kitchen measurement technology since its founding in 1984 by Richard Murtagh. Based in Portland, Oregon, the company was established by Murtagh, an engineer and avid cook, to bridge the gap between industrial-grade accuracy and home kitchen accessibility. Over four decades, the organization has remained a family-owned and operated enterprise—currently led by President Jan Murtagh—and has earned certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBENC). As of 2026, CDN serves as a foundational infrastructure provider for over 15,000 commercial locations, ranging from global coffee chains to healthcare facilities.

The brand's technical identity is defined by its "ProAccurate" philosophy, which emphasizes rapid thermal response and antimicrobial safety. A hallmark of their engineering is the ThinTip technology, featuring a 1.5 mm reduced-diameter probe that allows for a 6-second response time while minimizing the loss of juices in delicate proteins. Furthermore, CDN is a pioneer in integrating BioCote antimicrobial technology directly into the ABS plastic housings of its digital tools. This silver-based additive inhibits the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew on the product's surface, providing a critical layer of protection in high-volume environments where cross-contamination is a constant risk.

CDN's product portfolio is categorized into three primary pillars of precision:

  • Thermometers: Spanning from basic dial models to sophisticated dual-sensing probes and infrared guns. Their flagship digital models often feature field calibration, high-heat tolerance (450F/230C), and waterproof ratings (IPX4 to IPX6).
  • Timers: Including the "Big Digit" and multi-tasking series that can track up to four separate events simultaneously, often equipped with high-decibel alarms for use in noisy industrial kitchens.
  • Scales: Ranging from high-precision 2 lb digital units to 11 lb submersible models, designed with stainless steel platforms and tare functions for standardized portion control.

The strategic value of CDN lies in its commitment to international safety standards and its robust distribution network. Most of the brand's professional lineup is NSF Certified, ensuring the equipment meets strict sanitation and structural requirements for commercial use. By maintaining a presence in over 3,000 retail stores and providing specialized HACCP-compliant tools (such as thermometers with integrated "safe zone" light indicators), CDN enables operators to maintain rigorous food safety protocols with minimal technical friction. This combination of "Portland-born" engineering and global logistical scale makes CDN a foundational partner for both culinary professionals and serious home cooks seeking a high yield of accuracy and durability.
