The GPTesting Difference

55 YEARS OF WINNING PARTNERSHIPS

Why Tier I and Tier II suppliers choose GPTesting for weathering — and keep coming back.

😤

The Big Lab Problem

  • ✗ Submit samples. Then wait weeks — or months — for testing to start.
  • ✗ Call for a status update. Get routed to an account rep who has to “check with the lab.”
  • ✗ The quoting team and testing team are completely separate — sometimes in different states.
  • ✗ Wonder if your samples are sitting on a shelf somewhere.
  • ✗ Chase status updates through layers of coordinators.
🏆

The GPTesting Advantage

  • ✓ The team that quotes your project IS the team handling your materials. Always.
  • ✓ No handoffs between sales and fulfillment. One team, start to finish.
  • ✓ Call for an update — talk directly to the expert running your exposure.
  • ✓ Faster turnaround than the big labs without sacrificing quality.
  • ✓ Same comprehensive ASTM, ISO, SAE, and OEM testing capabilities.
