			<![CDATA[For the past thirty years American companies, once world leaders in R&amp;D, have been closing their excellent labs. The experienced personnel from those labs have scattered to the winds. These closings, carried out under the guise of saving money, actually wasted vast sums in the form of irreplaceable instututional memory. The people let go carried decades of experience with them... and they ended up in places like MATCO! Now small testing labs have the entrepreneurial opportunity to provide quality R&amp;D to large companies which no longer have the in-house capabilities. MATCO has the personnel who have carried out major research projects for large corporations such as US Steel, IBM, Corning Glass, Westinghouse, Allegheny Ludlum and Calgon Corporation, who can now bring all the knowledge and experience to bear on your projects. MATCO's overhead is much lower than the top-heavy major corporations and the company is much more nimble, able to change direction as seems appropriate with much less hemming and hawing. <br /><br />Bring your materials research problems to MATCO and see how we can provide R&amp;D service for you.]]>
