Delsen Testing Laboratories, Inc. was incorporated. in 1957 by group of five businessmen and engineers. Their foresight and abilities in the field of electrical testing of nonmetallic materials, paved the way for long years of steady service to industry and government.

Named after two of its founders, Delmonte and Knudsen, Delsen Testing Laboratories, Inc. began involving itself in industry by testing plastics and resins for their electrical and mechanical properties. The laboratory also contracted for the development of electrical test equipment useful in the manufacture of plastics and resins, such as an ASTM Standard Arc Resistance Tester and a D & K Analyzer (a step ahead of its time).

In 1959 heavy emphasis was placed on testing of materials rather than the development of more sophisticated electrical equipment, thus, the company began its participation in more diverse testing areas.

 

D & K Analyzer

A step ahead of its time. . . ." has been a byword with the Labs' management. From the D & K Analyzer to computerized testing, from the mechanical and ablative properties of aerospace materials to multi-layer printed circuit boards, Delsen has kept a step ahead by reinvesting its profits in sophisticated equipment and highly trained technicians.

Today the laboratory possesses a materials testing expertise and credibility with its customers which is modestly impressive.
