04/01/2021
Element Materials Technology (Element) has completed the formal rebranding and integration of non-destructive testing (NDT) business Aerotech Inspection and NDT Ltd, a significant milestone in Element’s world-leading position in NDT.Acquired by Element in December 2019 and headquartered in the West Midlands, Aerotech added its aerospace industry-serving specialist radiography services to Element’s global network of laboratories. As one of a limited number of independent, Nadcap-accredited non-destructive testing specialists remaining in the UK, the laboratory also brought its long-standing customer relationships with investment casting companies across the country into the Element offering.
Now branded Element Cradley Heath, the facility’s primary service area is radiography, covering digital, film and high-energy, as well as recently making an investment in additional computed radiography capabilities. Other key service provisions include dye penetrant inspection, magnetic particle inspection and ultrasonic inspection.
Mark Heaven, VP Aerospace & Connected Technologies Europe at Element, said: “The newly branded laboratory is a fantastic addition to Element’s global network. The combined expertise, capabilities and recent investments by both teams provide customers with an unparalleled testing and inspection partner and increased efficiency to meet their technical demands.”
Element operates non-destructive testing laboratories around the world, equipped with the latest technologies and image processing equipment to inspect and certify a wide variety of products for industries including aerospace, energy and power generation.
