Pinellas Park, FL: Cal-Tec Labs Inc. (CTL), a full-service calibration lab based in Pittsburgh, was acquired by Florida-based Medical Technology Associates (MTA), the national corporation announced today. MTA is a leader in testing, inspection, certification, and calibration, and the addition of CTL to its portfolio strengthens both brands’ calibration service offerings while also expanding capabilities into additional industries.
Headquartered in Greentree, brothers George and Jon Urban purchased Cal-Tec Labs in 2007 from their father; the pair started working for the company in 1996 when it was known as Quality Techniques. South Hills natives themselves, the Urban brothers have always kept the core Pittsburgh values of hard work, dedication, and loyalty at the center of the CTL brand.
“In 1990 I designed our logo using Adobe PageMaker – we didn’t even have Word,” remembers Cal-Tec Vice President of Administration Jon Urban. “We’re proud of how far we’ve come since then, and we’re excited to see the impact of this new partnership with MTA and how it will help launch CTL to new heights.”
“Customer relationships have always been paramount to Cal-Tec Labs,” said George Urban, the company’s Vice President of Operations. “Over the last year we explored numerous potential partnerships, and we are confident that partnering with MTA and Riverarch is the best fit for our clients and employees. With this additional support, CTL will now be able to reach clients in new industries and bolster our service offerings for existing customers.” George and Jon Urban, along with the CTL team, will remain in their current roles.
Cal-Tec is MTA’s newest calibration acquisition, joining recent additions MicronPA and Energy Plus. The technical depth and strong local relationships provided by CTL’s high-quality team will complement MTA’s national industry footprint, and the two businesses look forward to working in tandem.
“We are thrilled to add Cal-Tec Labs to our family of companies,” remarked Val Marks, Chief Executive Officer at MTA. “The Cal-Tec team provides decades of industry experience and expertise that will be crucial to our expansion in Western PA. Together we will expand our service offerings and leverage technology to drive customer success.”
