Safety, reliability and reducing environmental impact play important roles in the automotive industry. That’s why material composition analysis is not a nice to have but a must, regardless of the vehicle or component being manufactured.
As the automotive industry continues to evolve with the transition into electric, fuel cell, hybrid-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle manufacturing, the role of quality continues to be as important as ever.
We can help to accelerate your material testing programs whether you are an automotive OEM (original equipment manufacturer) or part of the supply chain. Our solutions help to ensure compliance with OEM testing specifications, national and international standards.
