Sectors we operate in
Our experience and capabilities mean we deliver value in the toughest environment: Your environment
Vehicles
30 Million+ parts tested
We help the defence, aerospace, rail and automotive industries deliver high reliability products for global security and transport infrastructure. Correct quality control and the ability to reliably isolate components which fail to meet specification is critical, given that the cost of failure can have tragic consequences. Our hardness testing solutions meet the strictest requirements and are supplied with UKAS certificates of calibration.
Oil & Gas
Flexible measurement solutions
Foundrax helps its customers to meet the increasing energy demands of the 21st century. We deliver crucial testing capability to oil tool producers and wellhead equipment manufacturers who work in all the major oil producing regions. In an industry where the cost of failure can be catastrophic, we work with companies who design and build critical components for offshore and onshore geosciences, drilling and engineering in both developed and emerging oil and gas regions.
Heat Treatment
Test solutions for industrial environments
We provide the heat-treatment industry with the ability to fulfil their Brinell hardness testing requirements. We understand time is tight, while quality must remain high. We continuously refine our hardness testing range to help our customers meet productivity and quality goals, on the shop floor.
Iron & Steel
Customers in over 45 countries
We’ve worked with iron and steel producers around the world since 1948. Our hardness testing equipment can quickly and reliably establish the hardness of steel forgings, castings and general iron and steel products both on the production floor and in the field.
