About Us

Apption Labs is an innovative technology company dedicated to developing smarter consumer products. Pushing the envelope in hardware and software design and leveraging cutting-edge technology is paramount to our goal of being industry leaders and solving everyday consumer problems.

Our passion is driven by our people: the Apption Labs team, our customers, our partners, and the community we've built together. Through collaborative problem-solving, quick and responsible execution, and mindful decision-making, our progressive ideas and energy are echoed across our company culture.

Apption Labs was founded on January 2nd, 2015. Currently, we are headquartered in Leicester, UK, with offices in Los Angeles, US; Hsinchu, Taiwan; and Munich, Germany. Our multi-continental background is our advantage as we draw from our diverse experiences to continue expanding globally, connecting people from all backgrounds.

The first product by Apption Labs is MEATER, the first wireless smart meat thermometer. Its user-centric design and robust set of features have made MEATER a trusted industry favourite to help amateur and professional chefs consistently deliver perfect results. With a growing list of accolades and rave reviews in major shopping channels and social media, MEATER is poised to become a household name.

In July 2021, Apption Labs was acquired by Traeger Grills, the innovators behind the original wood-pellet grill. Together, we work towards enhancing your lifestyle, coexisting as complementary pioneers of the smart cooking space, guiding you to meat smarter.
