Stork Materials Technology began as an in-house laboratory supporting the industries of Stork N.V.—textile printing, poultry and food processing, aerospace, as well as industrial components and technical services. In 1987, under the name Stork FDO, six branch locations and 85 employees formed a network of independent outside engineering facilities, each responsible for generating its own revenue and profits.

By 2004, the name changed to Stork Materials Technology or SMT, and the network today includes more than facilities and well over 600 employees. The experiment proved successful; SMT laboratories support each other, Stork N.V., and clients all around the world.

At Stork, we make it our business to have the answers to these and other questions before you ask them. In addition to serving you with accurate testing and inspection, we carefully monitor economic, technological and regulatory trends. We encourage our staff to earn advanced technical competencies, and we invest in instrumentation that keeps pace with technology. We succeed when you achieve your quality goals.
