NSL Analytical Services relocates metallurgical testing laboratory

Cleveland, Ohio-based NSL Analytical Services, an independent analytical and metallurgical testing services company serving U.S. and global customers, announced a significant milestone in its growth trajectory with the relocation of one of its two Cleveland-area testing laboratories.

NSL successfully completed the move of its metallurgical testing laboratory to a new facility at 4564 Johnston Parkway, Cleveland. The strategic move to the 20,000ft² complex approximately doubles the size of its prior metallurgical lab operation in Cleveland and provides the comprehensive infrastructure to support growth as one of the nation’s leading independent materials testing services companies.

The new metallurgical laboratory reflects the company’s commitment to serving the needs of more than 1,700 global customers who turn to NSL for its high level of speed, accuracy, and white-glove responsiveness. The construction of the new lab is a direct response to client requests for NSL to grow its high-performance, metallurgical testing capabilities. NSL now offers high-temperature stress rupture testing services for aerospace, additive manufacturing, space, and other manufacturing clients.

"This move represents the next chapter of growth for NSL Analytical Services," according to Ed Herderick, vice president of Science and Technology Development. "Our new ANAB- and Nadcap-accredited metallurgical testing lab has meaningfully expanded both NSL's testing capacity and testing capabilities. We are thrilled to be offering our customers a more expansive line of metallurgical testing solutions and look forward to supporting their future testing needs with excellent service they have come to expect from NSL," Herderick added.

The new facility, which opened in late March, includes new office space and also supports operations at NSL’s analytical laboratory, located approximately two miles away in Warrensville Heights, Ohio. Approximately 70% of NSL's clients use the services of both testing laboratories, underlining NSL’s versatility in handling a wide spectrum of client needs.

Founded in 1945, NSL has an industrywide reputation for providing reliable and cost-effective materials testing. The company’s experienced chemists, metallurgists, and technicians are experts in testing metals, alloys, plastics, composites, and ceramic materials in powdered, solid, or liquid form.
