The NCT is made up of a multi-disciplinary, expert team of engineers and scientists which includes specialists in materials, failure analysis, surface engineering, corrosion, wear, metallography, metallurgy, valves, pumps, seals, gears, bearings, lubrication, polymers and tribology
“The NCT is extremely proud of its accomplishments and long heritage,” added Gill. “We’re now looking forward to the next forty years helping businesses overcome whatever tough engineering challenges come their way.”
