Meet our specialists - Within analysis and testing of metals
At the Danish Technological Institute, we have a large metal laboratory for testing and analysis, and we have some of the country’s leading specialists in metallic materials - therefore we can help you ensure and document the quality of your products.
Our specialists are ready to assist with everything from quality challenges and failures of mechanical parts and structures to guidance on material selection. We provide assistance both on-site and in our own laboratory – for example by examining deviating material properties, setting up quality systems and test protocols, or determining the cause of failures. All of this is aimed at optimally protecting your company against unforeseen expenses and the risk of material failure.
Below you can meet some of our specialists.
Otto Lundgren Hejgaard
Product manager – mechanical testing
Email: othe@teknologisk.dk // phone: +45 7220 1251
Otto holds a BA in Mechanical Engineering, which he uses in the department for mechanical testing.
