FORTA has reached an exciting milestone with the grand opening of our Grand Rapids Testing Lab — the first facility in the world dedicated exclusively to asphalt and concrete fiber testing.

This new, ISO-certified and fully accredited lab is equipped to run more than a dozen ASTM, AASHTO, and EN tests, ensuring that every solution we bring to market meets the highest standards of quality and performance.

“The Grand Rapids Lab is a testament to our commitment to excellence, to innovation, and to building a stronger, more resilient future — with FORTA leading the way,” said Peter Ferris, CEO of FORTA.

More than just a testing site, the Grand Rapids Lab is a hub for research and development where our team will continue pushing boundaries, designing reinforcement solutions that make roads, bridges, and infrastructure safer and longer-lasting.
