Element completes rebrand of aerospace labs

Element Materials Technology (Element) has completed the formal rebranding and integration of all Exova laboratories in the aerospace 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 Aerospace materials testing presence.

The group has united its full aerospace team into one sector, serving customers in North America, Europe and Asia with the provision of highly technical materials and product qualification testing, including engines, major mechanical components and systems. During the integration process, dedicated project managers supported local teams in making the necessary changes to all aspects of a laboratory’s operation, and each rebrand was completed in a rapid three-month window. Accreditation bodies, customers, and other stakeholders were fully liaised with throughout the process to ensure they all had confidence in the changes being made.
