About Us

Sturbridge Metallurgical Services was started in 1990 in Sturbridge, MA, by co-owner and president Courtney Grimes. Originally the company was meant to be a small independent testing lab. Over the years, the company grew; Sturbridge Metallurgical now benefits from two full-time and several part-time employees. They outgrew two previous locations before settling in their current home at 8 Picker Road in Sturbridge, MA. Currently, the lab offers a complete range of testing services and the company sells full lines of laboratory and metallurgical equipment and supplies.

In 2002, Dr. Jean Bigoney and Sturbridge Metallurgical Services worked together to open a new lab- Springfield Metallurgical Services- in Springfield, VT. The two companies will work together to serve more customers with the same outstanding quality and service.
