Intertek Plymouth Open House: Pushing the Material Limits

Join Intertek on Friday, May 8 for an Open House and grand opening of our new materials testing lab in Plymouth, MI.

Better products start with better testing. From raw materials to finished parts to full vehicle systems, engineering performance depends on understanding where limits exist and how to validate against them. Join us at Intertek Plymouth for an Open House designed for engineers who want to explore the testing capabilities, technical expertise, and real-world support that help bring products to market with confidence.

This event will feature technical presentations, lab tours, networking opportunities, and complimentary food trucks lunch. Attendees will also learn how Intertek supports testing across a wide range of applications, from base materials and finished components to full vehicles.

Whether your focus is durability, validation, risk reduction, or speed to market, this event is an opportunity to connect with Intertek experts and see how our capabilities can support your next program.

Agenda

10:30 AM	Registration and check-in begin
11:00 AM – 12:00 PM	Presentation- Vibration Testing: An Introduction to Fundamental Concepts and Principles Not all vibration testing is the same. This session provides an introduction to the fundamental concepts and principles behind vibration testing, with insight into how different methods can be used depending on product design, use conditions, and program goals.
11:00 AM – 3:00 PM	Lab tours begin and continue throughout the event
12:00 PM – 2:00 PM	Food trucks open
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM	Lunch, networking, and lab tours
1:00 PM – 2:00 PM	Presentation: Pushing the Material Limits: Connecting Materials Characterization to Product Validation Faster innovation cycles, material substitutions, and rising performance expectations have increased the need for deeper materials insight in product development. This session will examine how Intertek can support materials characterization and performance validation. A full-service strategy that can work together to support design decisions, strengthen validation strategies, and improve time to market.
2:00 PM – 3:00 PM	Presentation- Speed to Market Bringing products to market quickly depends on more than speed alone. This presentation will explore two important factors in the process: design iterations and component compliance, with a focus on generating rapid technical insight, reducing prototype cycles, and documenting compliance in ways that help avoid delays.
