Most great innovations start with a "what if?" For us, that "what if" began back in 1997 inside a humble 20x20 foot garage. We didn't have much space, but we had a massive goal: to take the guesswork out of materials testing and build equipment that actually kept pace with the real world.

Today, that garage dream has grown into a global reality, but our "scrappy" DNA hasn't changed. We don't just manufacture tools; we solve the complicated, messy measurement problems that keep project managers up at night.

We’ve never been fans of the status quo. If the right tool doesn’t exist, we invent it. Over the years, our team of scientists and engineers has pioneered a long list of industry "firsts," including:

• The first portable nuclear gauge calibration device.
• The first automatic equipment for pinpoint-accurate density measurements in asphalt.
• The first rapid vacuum drying apparatus to save you time on-site.
• Revolutionary moisture conditioning devices that set new standards for reliability.

What makes us different? It’s the hours of exhaustive research and the "back-to-the-drawing-board" sessions we put in before a product ever reaches your hands. We obsess over the details—the patents, the physics, and the field-testing—so you don't have to.

Headquartered in the heart of Research Triangle Park, NC, we’ve expanded our reach to make sure expert support is never out of reach. With five full-service centers across the U.S.—Austin, Denver, Philadelphia, Grand Rapids, and San Francisco—and a network of international distributors, we are ready to support your projects wherever they take you.

We started with a vision to build better, stronger, and more accurate. Decades later, we’re still doing exactly that—one innovation at a time.
