Serving Martinsville, VA
Martinsville is an independent city entirely surrounded by Henry County in Virginia’s southern Piedmont, served by US 58 and US 220 with their business routes running through town and Routes 57, 87, 108 and 457 fanning out across the county — no interstate reaches the city — on the Smith River, with Beaver Creek Reservoir and its 175-acre lake supplying the city two miles north. Measurement-dependent operations here include Eastman Performance Films on Beaver Creek Drive, which manufactures automotive and architectural window film under a current ISO 9001:2015 certificate covering three Martinsville sites; Howmet Aerospace’s Martinsville operations on RTI Way, an Engineered Structures mill producing titanium forged bloom, billet, slabs, rounds, squares and rectangles; Sovah Health’s Martinsville hospital on Hospital Drive, licensed for 220 beds with laboratory and imaging services and more than 700 employees; and the City of Martinsville Water Resources Department, running a 7.5 million gallon per day water treatment plant and an 8.0 MGD wastewater plant on the Smith River staffed with laboratory technicians and its own instrumentation technician. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Because Martinsville sits roughly 280 road miles from our Gaithersburg, Maryland laboratory, Henry County customers typically use one of three intake paths: prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-business-day turnaround, scheduled pickup and delivery, and onsite calibration appointments at your facility. Each calibration is performed against documented procedures, traced through NIST, and accompanied by an audit-ready certificate that supports AS9100, ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 quality systems.
