Donan designed our Component Testing Lab (CTL) near Louisville, KY, with one goal in mind: to create a space custom-built for the best client experience and conclusive results in the industry. Here at the largest forensic laboratory of its kind in the nation, you’ll find specialized examination rooms, adjacent breakaway rooms, and the latest testing equipment and investigation methods. Our licensed professional engineers have everything they need to bring you accurate product failure assessments.
And to better accommodate the high volume from our West Coast clients, we’re developing our second CTL location in Henderson, NV. At these two labs, experts conduct more than 10,000 failure analysis investigations annually and growing all the time.
