Customer Testimonials:

  • ACRUX provides metallurgical and chemical analysis, product and process root cause analysis and makes recommended corrective actions to our customers. It is imperative that data received from any laboratory is detailed, accurate and on time. I have utilized Surface Science Western for over 15 years as a reliable analytical partner. The consistency and high quality of their work allows me to utilize and compare historical data to current work. I can trust their data to be accurate and have found their staff to be trustworthy and willing to go the extra mile to meet demanding time requirements to keep my company outperforming my competitors.
