OVER 25 YEARS OF RELIABLE SERVICE TRUSTED BY HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMERS

Continental Testing was started in 1991 to fulfill the need of aviation maintenance organizations to have mobile calibration services and to service aviation specific items . DuWain and Laura Ake acquired the company in 2010. They quickly worked to improve turn times and expand Continental Testing’s capabilities. A big step forward was achieving ISO 17025 accreditation in 2012. We continue to branch out across the country and to a wide variety of industries providing reliable, ISO traceable calibration and testing services at a competitive price. Throughout this time, we have maintained a special focus on Aviation and as such, we strive to be a one-stop- shop for Aviation customers.

Our calibration processes are designed to be thorough and accurate. We’re committed to providing the best metrology services available; exceeding customer expectations is our goal. It’s no wonder that over five hundred airlines, military, and government maintenance facilities trust us to ensure their tools’ compliance and performance.
