Minitab products offer quality professionals the powerful, reliable, and easy-to-use tools they need to analyze their data and manage large and complex projects.

Minitab is a computer program designed to perform basic and advanced statistical functions. It combines the user-friendliness of Microsoft Excel with the ability to perform complex statistical analysis. In 1972, instructors at the Pennsylvania State University developed MINITAB as a light version of OMNITAB, a statistical analysis program by NIST. It soon became the world’s leading statistical software for academic instruction, and is currently used at more than 4,000 colleges and universities worldwide.

The software’s success led its creators to form Minitab Inc. in 1983. The privately owned company is headquartered in State College, Pennsylvania, with subsidiaries in Coventry, England (Minitab Ltd.) and Paris, France (Minitab SARL). The company also maintains a worldwide network of resellers and representatives.
