AN INDUSTRY LEADER SINCE 1942

MIL History & Legacy

MIL was formed based on meeting the needs of our customers. When we started in 1942, MIL was a one-man operation performing magnetic particle examinations on parts for the U.S. Government. As we served our customers, they led us to other opportunities based on the exceptional service they received from MIL. It has been our pleasure to expand to meet those challenges and MIL is committed to continuing to improve to meet your needs.

While our extensive metal finishing, coating and NDT processes are what we do for you, what we offer you is the peace of mind of working with a partner who is committed to your success through our quality, our expertise, our response time, and our value to you. MIL constantly invests in our people and capabilities to maintain the trust and reliability that has made us our customers preferred choice.

As a returning customer, we thank you for the opportunity to serve you and welcome your feedback to help us get better.

If you are a new customer, welcome! MIL looks forward to using our skills and expertise to help you succeed with your customer.
