The 10,000 square foot Engineering Test Center has become a focal point of plant tours for many visitors and a showcase of STEMCO’s design and test capabilities since it was completed in 2005. Most of the over $2.5 million in Test Center machines, fixtures, equipment and software have been designed and fabricated by STEMCO test personnel in to execute a broad range of tests. From the earliest stages of concept development to audit testing of mature products, Test Center personnel are trained to provide test equipment and capabilities that gather accurate data and probe design limits.

STEMCO’s Test Center assists engineers in understanding commercial vehicle product design strengths and limitations. With hundreds of tests performed each year, it is no wonder that STEMCO understands the wheel end components environment and products as well as or better than anyone in the industry. The knowledge gained from our Test Center efforts help STEMCO in Making the Roadways Safer.
