| To
maintain profitability in the increasingly competitive global marketplace,
firms must continually develop new products and production processes
while, at the same time, keeping their costs low. For a growing
number of companies, outsourcing is proving to be a more cost-effective
way of performing this necessary R&D. Indeed, some companies
are converting their research facilities into virtual laboratories,
using carefully selected external R&D organizations to maintain
the necessary technology base.
Touchstone Research Laboratory serves as the source of new technology
for companies that produce everything from automotive parts to surgical
equipment; corrosion-resistant metals and metal coatings to new
paint systems. Over the past two decades, Touchstone has developed
an array of sophisticated products that account for sales totaling
hundreds of millions of dollars for client companies.
Touchstone’s strength lies in its customer-focused Project
Managers and multi-disciplinary staff of highly skilled personnel.
This team of professionals includes metallurgical, mechanical, aerospace,
electrical, and chemical engineers; materials scientists; chemists;
physicists; computer scientists; microbiologists and administrative
support personnel.
Touchstone has been called “one of the
best equipped labs of its size in the country” by Advanced
Materials & Processes magazine. The company owns over
$10 million of scientific equipment and occupies nearly 40,000 ft2
of space in The Millennium Centre, a 20-acre advanced technology
park, located along Interstate 70 near Wheeling, WV — less
than one hour from Pittsburgh, PA.
