Founded in Dayton. Trusted by Industry Leaders.

Metallurgical Solutions, Inc. (MSI Lab) was established in 2002 to meet growing industry demand for comprehensive, timely, and technically sound metallurgical testing and failure analysis. As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, we've become a trusted analytical partner to Fortune 500 manufacturers and local innovators alike.

Operating under the leadership of Dr. Brian Joyce, President and CEO, MSI Lab has served Dayton-area manufacturers since our founding in 2002. In 2022, we relocated to our current 15,000 square foot purpose-built facility at 331 E. Helena Street in Dayton, allowing us to be closer to our customers and operate from a state-of-the-art laboratory designed specifically for metallurgical testing.
