Northern Lights Solutions Inc. is proud to announce that that we have been contracted by the Oatey Corporation to provide material testing services. Based in Cleveland, Ohio, Oatey is a leader in the plumbing industry by manufacturing high quality products for residential and commercial applications. Created with advanced solutions their innovative products have received exceptional brand recognition since the company was founded in 1916. Oatey has distribution and manufacturing facilities located throughout the world and is known for their quality customer support and technical help.
Oatey contracted NLS because we can take a product design from concept to reality, as our team is involved in virtually every stage of the design cycle, from concept design and prototyping to production and end-of-life support. We have experience with materials testing, which was vital for Oatey’s new project as they understood the value of using the right material for a new program can mean the difference between a successful project and one that needs a new plan.

- Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)
- Focused Ion Beam (FIB)
