Environmental Testing Laboratory

Innovation, Performance, Quality & Support

Testing Servicesn an increasingly demanding market, manufacturers are pressured to produce at a faster rate to satisfy expectations for speedier time-to-market. However, exceptions cannot be made for products that are poorly constructed, putting an onus on manufacturers to maintain high standards of quality while producing at a quicker pace.

As a result, corrosion testing remains an important step in the manufacturing process, particularly for those who develop products that will spend some point in their life cycle outdoors or exposed to harsh elements. Access to dependable metal finishing equipment and corrosion test equipment is crucial, which is why businesses around the country partner with Auto Technology.

Test Lab  |  Proficiency Testing

We are a leading manufacturer of the industry’s best cycle corrosion test chambers, centrifugal dryers, metal finishing equipment and salt spray cabinets. Auto Technology custom-builds this equipment to the specifications of each customer, but our own equipment is also available to contract for businesses that require specialized testing services and cannot invest in a new machine.

Contact Auto Technology today to take advantage of our environmental testing laboratory, which is equipped with the latest in sophisticated proficiency testing machinery. A partnership with Auto Technology can ensure that the products your business produces meets the high standards of quality set by external stakeholders and internal expectations.

Why turn to Auto Technology for environmental testing services?

In 2009, Auto Technology expanded the square footage at our state-of-the-art facility to accommodate an environmental testing lab, which is equipped by our own leading corrosion testing equipment. This is machinery purchased and used each day to ensure high standards of quality by leading global manufacturers such as Ford, General Electric, Toyota, GM, Kohler, Federal Mogul and Hyundai, among others.

By turning to Auto Technology for contract corrosion testing, manufacturers that lack the capital for an investment in their own machinery receive access to sophisticated environmental testing services performed by industry professionals. We offer competitive prices – as low as $2 per hour for simple single environment testing – and our A2LA Accreditation assures customers that their products are being tested by knowledgeable, certified professionals.

Make Auto Technology a trusted partner in environmental testing

Our capabilities surpass those of any competing environmental testing lab, with more than 1,200 cubic feet of available testing space and access to testing equipment rarely found outside of OEMs. In addition, our expertise is unmatched, as our executive team is led by a president who chairs industry boards for corrosion standards and specifications.

Auto Technology is also committed to its customers. Our customer loyalty program offers additional savings on our environmental testing services to certain customers. We also emphasize maximum satisfaction in all of our customer interactions, working to meet our clients’ quick deadlines and deliver products and services that meet their high expectations.

Benefit from the Auto Technology Proficiency Testing Program

Businesses that contract Auto Technology for corrosion testing services can benefit from support for a wide variety of environmental tests, from salt spray tests, salt water immersion and tests for thermal shock, temperature or humidity, conductivity, PH, UV exposure and specific gravity.

We also encourage customers to register for our Proficiency Testing Program, which will test the quality of their own laboratory against results of other accredited facilities. By enrolling in repeat program offerings – Auto Technology provides ongoing programs throughout the year – manufacturers can verify the integrity of their own testing equipment to ensure top quality.

The Proficiency Testing Program is just one of the many ways Auto Technology works alongside clients to ensure maximum product integrity. Whether connecting clients to new equipment, providing them access to our own facility, or aiding in quality assurance testing, Auto Technology is the partner manufacturers need to improve performance.
