Laboratory:
Hammer laboratory was founded in 2006 in Rho (Milano), thanks to the growing necessity of technical and scientific support required by steel forging companies in the metropolitan area of Milan. In the course of time, the Hammer laboratory has become one of the most experienced and equipped Italian laboratories in carrying out experimental tests on metallic materials made for Nuclear, Oil & Gas, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Engineering sectors.
All the experimental investigations carried out by the laboratory supports our customers in creating better products, saving money and time as well as minimizing the risk to safety and the environment aspects. These aims are daily pursued through continuous training of the laboratory team, guaranteed safety for operators and our visitors as well as through a robust and strong active partnership with the Politecnico di Milano.
The headquarters in Visano (Brescia) of the Hammer laboratory was established in 2013, again in response to the growing necessity of technical and scientific support required by the steel forging companies in the Brescia area.
