Alpha Technologies, a global leader in rheology testing instrumentation, has acquired Metravib Material Testing, a specialist in dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and fatigue testing. The strategic acquisition expands Alpha s footprint in advanced material testing, combining two trusted names to deliver greater innovation, broader product offerings, and enhanced global support for research and industrial laboratories.

Alpha purchased Metravib Material Testing from the Acoem Group, a France-based provider of AI-powered sensing systems. The move adds DMA, viscoelastic characterization, fatigue performance evaluation, and thermo-mechanical analysis to Alpha s existing portfolio in rheology testing.

This acquisition underscores our commitment to deliver the most comprehensive and reliable material testing solutions available, said Neil Friery, President of Alpha Technologies. Combining Metravib Material Testing s technologies and expertise with our own enables us to support critical customer needs with even greater precision.

Customers will benefit from expanded global field service coverage, broader access to high-performance instrumentation, and streamlined support. Metravib s innovations, such as automated specimen handling and crack growth testing modules, will enhance research capabilities and help accelerate product development cycles across industries.

Fabien Condemine, CEO of Acoem, said, This strategic move is a testament to the remarkable journey and renowned expertise that Acoem has cultivated within the DMA activity. We are confident that Alpha Technologies, with its deep understanding of the materials analysis market and extensive international presence, provides the ideal environment for it to thrive.

The acquisition strengthens Alpha s ability to support manufacturers in improving product quality, reducing time to market, and optimizing operational efficiency, delivering on its promise of confidence in every result.
