The firm began in a suburban Pittsburgh basement in 1949 and invented the iconic KTA Test Panel to evaluate coating performance across failure modes.
In the 1960s, it pioneered independent coatings inspection services and expanded into instrument sales, eventually becoming a leading player in the field.
By the 1970s, it had expanded into physical and analytical testing laboratories, supporting forensic coatings analysis with advanced instrumentation and accreditation under ISO 17025.
The firm developed its proprietary CAPP® system in the 1980s, which evolved into an industry-leading maintenance planning platform.
From nuclear plant inspection in the early 1970s—including post‑Three Mile Island—to major pipeline and offshore wind projects, it delivers third‑party QA inspection and corrosion control services worldwide.
Its business units encompass coatings consulting, steel & concrete fabrication inspection, professional field QA, materials engineering, and a global instrument sales division.
The company continues to expand its testing facilities and recently acquired Future Labs to enhance materials inspection capabilities in energy and critical infrastructure sectors.
It maintains international service coverage with certified inspectors, engineers, and lab professionals providing unbiased, third‑party expertise to protect client assets.
