Welcome to the Pulp & Paper Testing Department of Econotech. Our staff consists of four experienced technicians who realize the importance of giving you, our customer, fast turnaround times and reliable, accurate results. Our instrument calibration is monitored by participation in the TAPPI Collaborative Program and our Econotech Quality Assurance Program. We would like to emphasize that all work evaluated is on a strictly confidential basis.
