Laboratory Testing LLC (LTI), a leading provider of materials testing and calibration services for mission-critical industries, today announced that it has acquired Assured Testing Services, a trusted source for corrosion exposure, mechanical, and materials testing based in Ridgway, Penn. The acquisition creates new opportunities to enhance testing capabilities and expand services worldwide.
Together, LTI and Assured Testing Services bring a combined 65 years of experience in providing reliable materials testing services. Assured was founded in 2001 when co-founders Steve Quinn and Brian Smith identified a need for corrosion resistance and environmental exposure testing within the powdered metal parts manufacturing industry. Since then, the company has steadily broadened its capabilities and service offerings and today supports more than600 customers around the world.
“We’re thrilled to join forces with LTI as we enter this next phase of growth,” said Steve Quinn, co-founder of Assured Testing Services. “From the start, our mission at Assured Testing Services has been to deliver high-quality, reliable testing services to our customers. This acquisition means we can offer them even more as we expand our capabilities, invest in new test technologies, and better serve our customers in the automotive, aerospace, consumer products testing, and metal finishing industries worldwide.”
LTI was acquired by Kanbrick, a long-term investment partnership, in 2025 to accelerate the company’s long-term growth strategy, which is focused on entering new markets, increasing capabilities, and acquiring businesses with a shared commitment to excellence.
“Our vision at Laboratory Testing is to become North America’s most trusted independent test lab, recognized for speed, accuracy, exceptional service, and integrity,” said Brandon McVaugh, CEO of LTI. “Assured Testing Services shares those values and brings proven expertise. By joining forces, we’re investing in the future—expanding our reach and delivering even greater confidence to our customers.”
The acquisition advances LTI’s goal of becoming the leading provider of materials testing and calibration services. The combined expertise and testing capabilities will make industry-leading solutions more accessible to customers worldwide.
