35 Years of American Values
In the mid-1980s, the steel industry was enduring rapid changes. Joe Halter, president of Solmet Technologies, saw new trends emerging and recognized a need for metallurgical testing in the area — largely due to the Timken Company’s increase in steel volume.
In December 1985, Solmet Technologies was born. The company initially became successful in outsourced metallurgical testing. In fact, Solmet was among the first to provide industry-standard test samples for primary steel manufacturers in the country.
Solmet expanded in the mid-1990s by forming partnerships with key players in the oil and gas industry, delivering custom made shafts and other forged parts.
