Non Destructive Testing.
NDT EXPERT owns more than 60 NDT certifications level II all techniques, as well as 22 level III.

The core business of NDT EXPERT is the Non Destructive Testing.
Nevertheless, the company intends to diversify its activities to the
field of a more global control in the domain of aeronautics and space.
In this frame, new activities like the chemical analysis of A/C fluids,
the monitoring of mechanical structures testing and the
industrialization/sales of new systems dedicated to the control have
taken place.
