New Hampshire Materials Laboratory was founded in 1979 by Fred Hochgraf and his wife. They recognized the need for a highly competent materials testing lab for the analysis of metals, ceramics and polymers. Our lab humbly began in a Durham, NH garage where we then moved into a Dover, New Hampshire site. More than 15 years ago, we moved to our current location in Somersworth, New Hampshire.

In January 2008, a long time veteran, Tim Kenney our current CEO/President/Laboratory Director took over the New Hampshire Materials Laboratory. Each and every day he can be found working diligently in the materials arena with our other technicians.
