Midwest Testing

In July 2019, Element acquired the assets of 'Midwest Testing Laboratories'. The business has been fully integrated into Element Wixom, bringing the expertise, equipment and capabilities of Midwest Testing Laboratories Inc. to the Element Wixom site. The integration of these capabilities has further improved the range of services to include cyclic corrosion testing and environmental testing.
