Costco Tests Most Valued Product with an Instron System

Since 1983, Costco has become the largest membership warehouse chain in the United States. The company profits $1.5 billion annually in over 170 stores throughout 7 countries, with plans to double its footprint over the next decade. In its own testing lab, an Instron 3343 with pneumatic grips can be found testing Costco’s most valued product. A recent business documentary by CNBC profiles the retailer and the consumer "craze" it's ignited.
