REQUEST A QUOTE MENU History It All Started with Breaking a Few Windows … NTS was founded in 1961 by engineers Dr. Jack Lin and Aaron Cohen. Some of the first tests they conducted involved breaking windows and detecting leaks with helium. The success of these early tests allowed NTS to continuously expand its offerings with comprehensive engineering and testing laboratories serving the Aerospace, Nuclear, Defense and Commercial hardware industries. The 1980s ushered in all-new demands, and NTS answered, by outsourcing engineers to work on solid booster technology at Thiokol. In 1990, the Technical Resources division was created with the acquisition of S&W Technical Services, a company specializing in nuclear power plant support. Although well known as a premier nuclear testing lab, NTS saw the added value of this synergy and applied it to the industries we knew so well: Staffing expertise and capabilities in Aerospace, Telecommunications, Defense, Automotive and Information Technology. Now, We Just Open Windows Today, we serve the world’s most performance-critical industries; striving to maintain the vibrant culture instilled by our founders. We believe in cultivating opportunity and growth through constant innovation and dedication to our customers. Each day is a chance to build upon our successful history and leave a legacy for future generations – not only within this company, but in the dynamic technological communities that make the world’s greatest products. 1961 - Associated Engineering Test Laboratories is Born 1975 - Renamed NTS 1982 - East Coast Expansion 1988 - Detroit Lab Adds Automotive Testing 1991 - 1999 - Significant Expansions 1991 - Quality Management System Certifications Added 2004 - Dynamic Testing, Inc.
