Serving Springfield, MO
Springfield is the seat of Greene County and the third most populous city in Missouri, with 169,176 residents recorded in the 2020 Census. Its technical base is spread across process equipment fabrication, pharmaceutical and fine chemical production, specialty chemical and food processing, hospital and clinical laboratory work, university research, and commercial aviation, rather than concentrated in a single sector. Paul Mueller Company, an SEC-reporting manufacturer classified under fabricated plate work, builds stainless processing equipment at 1600 West Phelps Street, and Stainless Fabrication, Inc. builds stainless tanks and vessels at 4455 West Kearney Street. Curia operates a medicinal and botanical manufacturing plant at 2460 West Bennett Street, 3M operates an adhesives plant at 3211 East Chestnut Expressway, and Kraft Heinz operates a cheese and dairy processing plant at 2035 East Bennett Street. Mercy Hospital Springfield at 2115 South Fremont Avenue and Cox Medical Centers at 3801 South National Avenue are both Medicare-certified acute care hospitals, each running clinical laboratory and biomedical equipment inside the city limits. Missouri State University operates the Jordan Valley Innovation Center, a 117,000 square foot complex at 524 North Boonville Avenue holding tenant laboratories and shared research equipment, and Springfield-Branson National Airport operates from 2300 North Airport Boulevard, also within the city. Work across sites like these depends on documented temperature and humidity, physical and dimensional, electrical, RF and microwave, optical, and timing and frequency measurement, each traceable to national standards and each open to review during an audit. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Because Springfield sits outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup radius, we serve Greene 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.
