Metallurgical Testing Lab (Pty) Ltd

The concept of Metallurgical Testing Labs was born in early 2009. It became apparent that the Metal working industry was in a catch-22 position which was that there was a desperate need for experienced and competent Metallurgical Engineers and up and coming Metallurgical Engineers fresh from University could not find jobs because of their lack of experience. The concept of filtering Metallurgical students through a company where they would be placed in an environment and be exposed to the technical side of metallurgy. Here they would be able to apply the knowledge that they had picked up through their studies in a practical manner thereby exposing them to the “experience factor”. Our aim was is to bridge this gap and inject competent Metallurgists into the market where they, after a time spent employed at Metallurgical Testing Labs, would become a valuable asset to the company that they would ultimately get employed by. Metallurgical Testing Labs was formally formed in mid-2012 after 10 years of laying foundations and establishing key relationships with companies within the industry that it ultimately serves.  Metallurgical Testing Labs (over the years) has flourished and grown into one of the largest independent metallurgical testing facilities in South Africa.
