We provide comprehensive services and solutions for our clients. Our focus lies in performing demanding analyses and addressing problem situations, as well as designing analysis methods according to the client's needs. Relying on experience and broad know-how, VTT Expert Services Ltd is able to tackle even the most complex challenges.

We seek remedies for process disruptions, damage to material and equipment, problems relating to utilities and consumer goods, identifying and establishing the origin of unknown substances, and authentication. We also find the answer to the client’s question: “Why did this happen and how can we avoid it in the future?” There are problems that have to be solved in all sectors of society.

We find the cause of disturbances in products and production by, for example, identifying foreign substances in processes and establishing the origin of contamination. We analyse material purity and quality, and study fractures and other damage in order to establish the cause of failure of and damage to machinery, appliances and materials that have caused accidents.
