AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS — DECEMBER 5, 2011 — Stork Materials Technology has officially changed its name to ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½. In this final step venturing away from the Stork Group, ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ becomes an independent world-class materials technology company in its own right with over 180 years of experience. 

“As ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½, we have an opportunity to reveal who we really are and showcase our growing capabilities,” said Charles Noall, CEO of ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½. “Our new name captures the critical role we play for our customers, delivering expertise with engaged service. We have an exceptional ability to see the bigger picture without losing sight of the details at hand.” 

Moving forward, ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ and its team of experts will specialize in materials testing, product qualification testing and failure analysis for the Aerospace & Defense, Oil & Gas, Power Generation, and Transportation sectors. No strangers to the regulatory and quick turnaround demands that come with the territory, ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ will continue to provide the quality solutions, on-time delivery and customer service that make them solid leaders in the industry. 


“I’m extremely proud of everyone at ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ for their diligent work in making this momentous transition, and for their daily commitment to being the engaged experts our customers rely on. Their dedication and expertise is the foundation for building equity in our new brand."


Mr. Noall credits strong lineage, new brand positioning and significant strategic investment adding new capacity and capabilities during 2011 for the company’s current market leadership and promising future. A comprehensive look at the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ brand can be found on its newly minted website ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½.com, complete with core capabilities, industry sector specific expertise  and an entertaining brand video.
