Why We Started Draxworth
In 2022, our founding team witnessed a preventable industrial failure caused by undetected polymer degradation. The material had passed manufacturer specifications, but real-world exposure conditions had weakened it far beyond rated performance. That failure cost a company $420,000 and created workplace safety risks that should never have existed.
We started Draxworth Materials Corp. because the polymer testing industry needed to change. Manufacturers provide baseline data; they don't evaluate your specific environment, load conditions, or chemical exposure. We do. Our Calgary headquarters houses the equipment and expertise to test polymers the way they actually perform in Canadian industrial conditions—not in ideal laboratory conditions.
