Serving Lenoir, NC
Lenoir is the seat of Caldwell County in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, where US 321 runs north toward Boone and southeast to Hickory. A principal city of the Hickory-Lenoir-Morganton metro, it anchors a region rebuilt around precision manufacturing and data infrastructure: Google's Lenoir data center campus, the Bernhardt, Kincaid, and Fairfield furniture operations, and the network-infrastructure and fiber-optics cluster centered on Hickory and Claremont, with Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute in Hudson training the technical trades. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
We serve Caldwell County and the surrounding foothills two ways: prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-business-day turnaround, and onsite calibration appointments at your facility. Every calibration is NIST-traceable and comes with an audit-ready certificate supporting AS9100, ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 quality systems.
