Micom Laboratories is excited to announce that we will soon be celebrating 25 years in business. Since our creation, we have solidified our position as a leader in materials and product testing. This June we will proudly commemorate this anniversary, a significant milestone in our remarkable journey. Over these many years, our commitment to reliability and innovation has left an indelible mark on material testing and accelerated aging.

From Our Beginnings to Today: A Story of Quality and Dedication

Since our creation in 1999 by our CEO and founder, Michel Comtois, we have had the privilege of working alongside numerous passionate and innovative companies. We’re extremely proud to have played a role, however small, in their success, helping to improve the compliance, durability and safety of their products. This success would not have been possible without your continuous trust and support.

Our unwavering commitment to providing the highest quality materials testing services to our clients is also a cornerstone of our success. Testifying to our dedication to the highest standards, our ISO/IEC 17025 (2017) accreditation by A2LA has solidified our position as a leading independent laboratory, recognized for our expertise in materials aging.

At Micom Laboratories, our mission goes beyond simple testing. We are committed to providing tailored, high-quality services, ensuring reliable and precise responses to the specific needs of our partners.

Michel insists on two fundamental principles that guide our daily work. These values embody the spirit of our mission and drive us to maintain excellence in all our undertakings.
