Military equipment has always been at the forefront of technology, driving material and manufacturing innovations. In addition, the need for the highest quality and reliability place extreme demands on the manufacturers of such equipment. Stringent procedures cover all aspects of manufacturing and quality and parts and sub-systems must often be tested multiple times before they are considered acceptable for use. IMR has the capabilities to perform a wide range of these tests to the most exacting requirements.

We carry Nadcap certification for Chemical, Mechanical, and Metallurgical analysis of a wide range of materials.  We also carry a variety of approvals and accreditations from major manufacturers. In addition, our wide range of capabilities and expertise give us unique capabilities for problem solving and failure analysis.  Please also see our Aerospace page for more information.
