Founded in 1954, Testing Engineers has served the San Francisco Bay Area for nearly seven decades. The company operates one of the most advanced and well-equipped laboratory facilities in Northern California, providing comprehensive testing and inspection services for code compliance and quality assurance. The firm is particularly recognized for its advanced metallurgy and materials testing capabilities, including detailed analysis and testing of structural steel, bolts and fasteners, and other critical components.

Testing Engineers will merge into Certerra’s existing California operations, further enhancing service delivery and operational efficiency while maintaining the high standards of quality and expertise both organizations are known for. This acquisition significantly strengthens Certerra’s technical depth in Northern California and expands its metallurgy and materials engineering capabilities across the broader platform. These enhanced capabilities will not only support clients in the Bay Area but also provide additional resources and expertise that can be leveraged across Certerra’s national network.
