Kevin and Nolan Knight, Founders of Knight Testing

History

Knight Testing was started in 2006 by brothers Kevin and Nolan Knight, and their colleague Pat Ballinger. Having worked in and managed captive testing laboratories in multiple industries, the three owners leveraged their experience to venture out on their own. Knight Testing first established its reputation in the orthopedic industry, providing nearby companies like Zimmer, Biomet, and DePuy access to a convenient, quality contract test laboratory with outstanding customer service.
Today, Knight Testing employs an experienced staff of test engineers, technicians, designers, and machinists in a 10,000 square foot laboratory offering mechanical testing services to a broad range of industries in the US and around the globe.
