Fort Worth, Texas-based TRIGO Aerospace, Defense, and Rail (ADR) Americas, part of the TRIGO Group, a provider of supplier and quality management solutions is forming a strategic partnership with NDT Solutions New Richmond, Wisconsin) and NDE Labs (Benbrook, Texas). This collaboration aims to enhance TRIGO’s comprehensive quality portfolio by integrating advanced nondestructive testing (NDT) and nondestructive evaluation (NDE) capabilities to meet the growing demands of North America's critical infrastructure sectors.

With this partnership, TRIGO will leverage Verifi Technologies subsidiaries, NDT Solutions, and NDE Labs' specialized expertise in NDT for high-stakes components across aerospace, defense, and space exploration along with NDT Solutions' state-of-the-art testing technologies, aiming to position TRIGO as a one-stop provider for quality management and compliance solutions. This includes a full range of services from training and consulting to detailed auditing, onsite inspections, and sophisticated testing equipment – all designed to support life cycle reliability and compliance.

The need for high-caliber NDT services is driven by increasingly stringent regulatory requirements and improved safety standards in sectors where material integrity is essential. The NDT services market, valued at approximately $3.7 billion in 2023, is projected to grow by nearly 6% annually through 2028, according to a recent Oliver Wyman Consulting market study.

This reflects the demand from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) & suppliers for reliable, non-invasive testing methods that ensure the safety and performance of key assets without operational interruptions. By offering NDT, TRIGO enables clients to perform essential audits and inspections on suppliers, thereby reducing risks of non-compliance and maintaining consistent quality throughout the supply chain. For NDT Solutions, this alliance not only brings increased visibility but also allows them to leverage the commercial strength of TRIGO to reach new markets and expand their impact in the field.

The integration of NDT/NDE services into TRIGO’s existing service portfolio will provide clients with end-to-end quality and compliance solutions that address both immediate and long-term strategic needs (from inspection to testing). With this partnership, TRIGO and NDT Solutions intend to significantly increase the number of audits conducted for clients, ensuring their suppliers meet rigorous compliance and quality standards across all stages of production and operation.
