About Element St. Paul

Element St. Paul, formerly Twin City Testing, has a long history as a materials testing laboratory in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota, spanning over 75 years. Originally organized in 1938, our focus was on environmental, construction and product validation services. In 1985, the company joined the Huntington network of labs, and further ownership changes led us to become a part of Element Materials Technology. Element is a network of over 200 laboratory locations around the world, five of which are in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul metro area. Our strengths are responsiveness to customer needs, quality, problem-solving, the diversity of our test offerings and our networking capabilities.
