NTS Buys Testing Lab

National Technical Services Inc. has acquired Dynamic Labs, an environmental testing laboratory with locations in two states, the company announced. Dynamic Labs will be included within the engineering and evaluation group of the Calabasas-based company, which provides engineering services to the defense, aerospace, telecommunications, automotive and high technology markets. The purchase continues the strong growth trend the company has established in the past few years, said President and CEO William McGinnis, in a statement. “As organizations outsource more non-core competencies, such as testing services, NTS continues to position itself as the choice for those outsourced services,” McGinnis said. Dynamic Labs has locations in Phoenix and Austin. Its lab deal with space simulation, and thermal vacuums, along with testing temperature, humidity, altitude, rain, salt fog and dust. The Dynamic Labs facilities will complement NTS facilities in Tempe, Ariz., and Plano, Texas, said NTS Director of Corporate Development Derek Coppinger. “Companies may not have the testing capability or capital to invest in large testing programs,” Coppinger said in a statement. “They do, however, need the testing completed and want it locally to help reduce costs and ensure a fast time to market.”
