Element Materials Technology (Element) has completed the formal rebranding and integration of all Exova laboratories in the Oil & Gas sector. Following the acquisition of Exova Group Ltd in June 2017, Element has created one, world-class global testing services partner and the rebrand of its laboratories marks the strengthening of its global presence in oil & gas testing.
The group has united its full Oil & Gas team into one sector, providing customers in the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific and the Middle East with the provision of highly comprehensive and technically demanding testing services closer to their operations. Services include corrosion, coatings, metallurgical testing and non-destructive inspection, as well as providing advanced expertise in composites, polymers, critical weld qualification testing and analysis and engineering critical assessments.
Each rebrand was completed on time and, during the integration process, dedicated project managers supported local teams in making the necessary changes to all aspects of a laboratory’s operation. Accreditation bodies, customers, and other stakeholders were fully liaised with throughout the process to ensure full confidence in the changes being made.
