For 108 years Detroit Testing Laboratory has been one of the leading companies in Automotive, Military and Aerospace testing, offering a diversified set of services for over 2000 customers throughout the world. During the long history of the company, DTL has made many changes to grow with our customers and enhance the services we provide.

Today, we would like to announce another monumental moment in our history. This week we have agreed to be acquired by Element Materials Technology, formerly Stork Materials Technology. We have joined Element because they share our commitment to our customers, industries we serve and employees. As we continue to grow with our customers on a global scale, it was time to join a company that already operates on that scale and can bring immediate benefit to our customers. However, you can rest assured your “home team” will still be intact to serve you on a local level. We do not intend to make any changes to the labs you work with and the outstanding services you depend on. We understand we are only as good as the local lab and we are very committed to keeping what works in place.

Over the next several months the DTL name will be replaced with the new company name – Element. We encourage you to go to our new website www.element.com and check us out. There is a video on the home page that describes who we are and what we can do for you. We believe you will be as excited as we are for the future as Element brings service to a new level for our customers.
