Pioneering Ultrasonic's for 50 Years
Founded in 1958, Sonatest Ltd. was the subject of a Management buy-out, backed by 3i Ltd, from the Schlumberger group in April 1986. Since that time, the company has consolidated its position in the NDT market and invested heavily in Research and Development.
Registered with BSI to ISO 9002: 1994 as a manufacturer of assessed capability since 1986, Sonatest Ltd became an "Investor in People" - approved company in December 1997. Substantial investment has been made in Quality Systems and Training in recent years and this has resulted in the further enhancement of the reputation of Sonatest Ltd products for reliability.
