Serving Midland, MI
Midland is the county seat of Midland County in central Lower Michigan, west of Bay City and northwest of Saginaw on the Tittabawassee River. Its technical base is concentrated in large scale chemical and materials manufacturing, applied research, and the quality systems that document both. Dow Inc. and The Dow Chemical Company are headquartered in Midland, and the Dow Michigan manufacturing site operates in the city at 1790 Washington Street, with Corteva Agriscience along the same corridor at 701 Washington Street. South of downtown, Dow Silicones Corporation operates at 3901 South Saginaw Road, the Cabot Corporation fumed silica plant at 3603 South Saginaw Road, and Nutrition and Biosciences USA 1 LLC at 3400 South Saginaw Road. MyMichigan Medical Center Midland, at 4000 Wellness Drive, adds a regulated clinical and laboratory environment to the same local measurement economy. Operations of this kind depend on documented accuracy in temperature and humidity, pressure, flow, mass, dimensional, torque, and electrical measurement, where traceability to national standards and a stated measurement uncertainty determine whether a result holds up under audit. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Because Midland sits outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup radius, we serve Midland County through two intake paths: prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-business-day turnaround, 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.

Calibration is performed in a controlled environment at your site on a scheduled appointment, with the same accreditation, NIST traceability, and documentation as in-lab service.
