CHICAGO - Atlas Material Testing Technology has developed a relationship with ACT Test Panels LLC of Hillsdale, MI, for the distribution of test panels in the European market. Since 1981, ACT has served automotive, appliance, heavy equipment, aerospace, and metal forming and manufacturing customers. Atlas will sell ACT panels throughout Europe.
 
"Selling ACT panels is a perfect fit for Atlas," said Jamie Chesler, General Manager Marketing & Aftermarket for Atlas Material Testing Technology. "There is a tremendous amount of overlap in our core customers. We know the market and will now be able to sell them a more comprehensive, one-stop solution for their testing needs."
 
Atlas will sell ACT's complete portfolio of panels, but will begin by stocking TRU panels for immediate delivery. Ideal for quick, economical and reliable on-the-spot quality control checks, these panels assure accurate spray out, flow, color match and coverage evaluations. TRU panels are available prepackaged with VCI paper. They are specially formulated for longer shelf life and batch-to-batch consistency.
