Element and Rolls-Royce collaborate to expand test services to their customers

A new agreement between Element Materials Technology (Element) and
Rolls-Royce will provide Element’s customers with access to the cutting-edge
rig and component test capability and engineering expertise of Rolls-Royce
in Germany.

Building on a decade-long relationship between the two companies, the
agreement sees Element expand its current capabilities to provide its
customers with a much broader range of testing. The unrivaled capabilities
of the Rolls-Royce test facility include unique materials testing, such as
multiaxial fatigue capabilities, composite component vibration and
large-scale spin testing.

Rolls-Royce has made a significant investment in its high-end test
facilities and this agreement will open up access to customers from a wide
range of end markets such as aerospace, energy, automotive and agriculture.

Matt Hopkinson, EVP EMEAA at Element, said: “We have a proud history of
supporting Rolls-Royce’s core businesses and I am delighted that we have
been able to further cement our relationship through this agreement. The
combination of testing capabilities, including those unique to Rolls-Royce,
offers Element customers an attractive package of services across multiple
sectors, and gives them access to an even broader suite of services under
our industry leading one-stop-shop approach to account management. This is a
real win-win for both companies and our customers across the world.”

Andreas Pelz, Head of Development & Experimental Engineering, Dahlewitz at
Rolls-Royce, said: “We are excited to enter into this agreement with Element
to provide the same high quality testing capabilities and service to Element
customers that we use every day to test Rolls-Royce’s engines, materials and
components. This will allow us to use Element’s recognized direct route to
market to explore opportunities and offer new capabilities to market for the
benefit of our customers.”
