WMT&R UK Celebrates 15 Years of Excellence

This year marks our fifteen year anniversary, and we couldn't have gotten there without the business and trust of our loyal customers! Looking back over the years, we've seen tremendous growth since we started doing business out of our state-of-the-art facility, thanks to partnerships we have built with our customers throughout the UK, Europe and Asia. WMT&R's move into the UK represents a firm commitment to expanding the company's World-Class services into the European and Asian marketplace for materials testing services.

Our Journey

Westmoreland Mechanical Testing and Research Ltd. was launched in April 2003 and relocated in 2015 to take up residence in state-of-the-art laboratories on Banbury's Wildmere Road. Our high-tech labs provide a range of ISO/ASTM standard tests either in volume or special one-off tests for customers in the aerospace, automotive, nuclear, off-shore and medical industries. Most materials, in any shape or form can be mechanically tested and/or chemically analyzed.

Remarkable Growth

The testing capacity doubled within the first year of business and had subsequently quadrupled over the next few years and continues to grow significantly year after year. The fatigue testing facility alone is now thought to be the largest 'independent' laboratory of its kind in Europe! An extensive CNC machine shop enables production of test specimens on site including low stress grinding and polishing to comply with Nadcap, GE and Rolls Royce approvals.
