Material testing laboratory

Understanding the properties and surface conditions of a material is essential for optimizing production processes and ensuring final product quality. APM is proud to announce the upcoming opening of its Dubai branch within the UAE Free Zone, which will serve as the regional hub for specialized materials testing.

While we finalize our physical presence in the UAE, we are already supporting local businesses directly from our headquarters and laboratory in Italy. Thanks to this streamlined model, clients can already coordinate their testing needs by contacting our Italian experts to arrange sample shipments to our accredited facility. This ensures that every analysis, from the industrial to the biomedical sector, benefits from European precision and the ISO/ASTM standards required by the Dubai and UAE markets.

Apm dubai laboratory testing

The surface is the most critical area for material longevity. In the extreme UAE climate — where desert conditions meet marine environments — surface analysis is vital to prevent degradation. While we finalize the opening of our Dubai office, we are already supporting Middle Eastern businesses through our center of excellence in Italy. We provide specialized technical consultancy and certified testing to ensure material reliability and resistance, backed by European precision.

In the event of issues such as:

  • Marine corrosion (Dubai coastal exposure)
  • Accelerated wear
  • Poor coating adhesion
  • Excessive friction

the surface often proves to be the determining factor for a product’s reliability and durability.

The properties of a material are determined by its components and its conditions during laboratory testing. Through our testing services for the UAE market, we facilitate various analyses aimed at establishing the level of safety, reliability, and performance a material will exhibit over time from a chemical, physical, or technological perspective.

From chemical analysis to microstructural characterization, every test is conducted at our specialized laboratory in Italy according to the strictest international standards (UNI, EN, ISO, ASTM), in full compliance with UAE regulatory requirements. Clients manage the direct shipment of samples to our Italian facility, ensuring precise, certified, and reliable results backed by European excellence.

Plan your project with our experts today. While we prepare for the opening of our physical office in Dubai, our technical team in Italy is already active to offer strategic consultancy and coordinate analysis at our accredited laboratory.
