Working alongside airframe manufactures and their suppliers as safety regulations improve, our labs have assisted seat and seat belt manufacturers to conduct tests on safety harnesses, as well as […]

As part of our pursuit to supply a complete testing experience, we have recently expanded our Solar Testing capabilities. Affecting both interiors and exteriors, sunlight is a powerful environmental force that needs to be considered when designing a product. We have recently added a solar simulation chamber to our South Carolina location to compliment the […]

Over the last few years, buzz, squeak and rattle, or BSR, have been rated as one of the top quality issues for automotive companies. In addition to 3 Months of Initial Service (3MIS), long term durability of interior and exterior components is an important factor to consumers. Detection and correction of BSR issues before vehicle […]

MGA has been assisting automotive safety engineers and manufacturers for decades in their quest to create safer vehicles. Automobiles are complex combinations of many unique systems. In order to reduce costs and streamline the design process, modern manufacturers develop Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) simulations. While these simulations assist in predicting the effects of design changes on […]

Over the years, vehicle manufacturers have strived to extend the life-span of their products without compromising their quality. As cars and airplanes are expected to last longer, so are all the components that can be found in them. From cushions to recliners, seat warmers to armrests, these components have to endure years of usage, natural […]
