History
Our Past

Aerospace Testing Lab, Inc. began in 1976 by George Toper, Gary Toper, John Ferreira, Nicholas Ferreira and Paul Schmidt. The partners of ATL all worked and had experience in the field of non-destructive testing when they decided to branch off and start on their own. Since then it has developed into a company driven by success. Small beginnings in a tiny shop in East Hartford, CT paved the way for it's future as a leader in the industry of NDT. Currently ATL has assimilated into a 28,000 sq. ft. facility with over 40 employees.
Located at 32 South Satellite Rd. in South Windsor, CT Aerospace Testing Lab, Inc. has been relied on for the testing of components that have eventually made their way into the Space shuttle, International space station, JSF, F22, M1 Abrams, and countless other machines at the pinnacle of human ability. ATL has also been a forerunner into the testing of new materials and composites others couldn't or wouldn't inspect. Here, we say that if you can make it, we can inspect it. As a trusted industry leader for over 35 years we like to think we're not just selling our quality service, we're selling peace of mind.
