Short about our long history

It all started in the Swedish Air Force instrument workshop in 1947. Growing continuously through acquisitions and outsourcing partnerships, we are now the leading 3rd party calibration and test & measurement service provider in Europe. Today we are Exova METECH, part of Exova Group.

FFV Aerotech

Until 1994 the business was a division of FFV Aerotech. January 1, 1994 FFV Metrology was formed as a subsidiary of FFV Aerotech. This date was also the start of our Finnish company FFV Mittausteknika OY.

Celsius METECH and Saab METECH

In 1998 the Celsius group acquired FFV and was renamed Celsius METECH. 1999 we established ourselves in Denmark and in Germany. In 2000, Saab acquired the Celsius group and we became Saab METECH.

1980 we were designated as National Metrology Centre by the Swedish Government for High Frequency (HF) electrical quantities, which we held until 2000. As the National Metrology Centre moved, we earned our accreditation for HF quantities.

Bodycote METECH

2006 Saab signed an agreement with Bodycote International Plc on the transfer of shares in Saab METECH and its subsidiaries.

Exova METECH

In 2008 the entire Bodycote Testing Group was bought from Bodycote Plc, and 2009 we were rebranded as Exova.

We are now Exova METECH, part of Exova Group, proud of our long and rich history. Exova is a global provider of materials testing and advisory services.
