On-site Sampling

Upon request, we undertake sampling and/or sample preparation directly at the client’s site or at the deposit. Our publicly appointed and sworn experts operate throughout Europe, guaranteeing fast, neutral, and professional sampling and analysis of ferroalloys, ores, and raw and auxiliary materials. With many years of experience and state-of-the-art equipment, we provide our international clients with reliable results from sampling to analysis.

Certified Quality

Our laboratory is certified according to aerospace standards, ensuring the quality of our own products as well as the execution of neutral contract analyses. Naturally, all tests are carried out according to international norms and guidelines.

Furthermore, we contribute our expertise to the VDEH Chemists’ Committee, DIN standards committees, and other working groups. We also participate in the development of internationally used reference materials.

Analyses with Added Value

From the examination of metallic materials and mineral raw materials to element determination in inorganic matrices, and production and incoming goods inspections for metallurgical companies and their suppliers – we offer a versatile range of analyses, extending to trace analysis and the detection of relevant environmental parameters. Thus, our practical and reliable analyses provide a sound basis for quality assurance, research and development, and purchasing decisions.
