Corporate History
In 1968, the newly founded Zetec won its first government contract to inspect steam generator tubing.
The data inspectors used Zetec's first analog, single-frequency eddy current tester, then the state of the art.
As nuclear power flourished commercially in the 1970's and 1980's,
the young start-up company applied its eddy current testing technology to support customers around the world who were designing and building power plants.
Zetec's eddy current equipment, training, and methodology became recognized as the worldwide standard for inspection in the power generation industry.
Since then, Zetec has become the leader in NDE, first in nuclear power, then in balance-of-plant and process industry applications.
The company has expanded its application of eddy current technology into ultrasonic, remote field and magnetic flux leakage testing.
Originally headquartered in Issaquah, Washington, Zetec created their first analog testers in small offices and even in an old dairy barn.
The original testers utilized reel-to-reel recorders and simple robotic positioners, Zetec products have advanced enormously.
Today, Zetec offers a full line of state-of-the-art eddy current inspection systems as well as ultrasonic testers, robotics, software, scanners and probes.
 Acquired by
Roper Industries in 2002, Zetec now has access to greater financial resources,
marketing alliances with the complementary engineering expertise of other Roper companies, and an expanded international distribution channel.
In 2004 Zetec acquired the Power Generation business assets of R/D Tech in Quebec and Deep River, Ontario, Canada.
This acquisition brought 100 new employees with extensive industry background to the Zetec organization, resulting in an expanded technology base.
Zetec continues to be operated and managed as an independent company. In 2005 Zetec headquarters moved into a brand-new facility in Snoqualmie, Washington.
Due to recent expansion efforts, Zetec now maintains offices in Quebec; Deep River, Ontario; Paris, France; Seoul, Korea; and Beijing, China.
The company is also committed to growing the industry through continued research and development efforts.
Zetec maintains strong relationships with EPRI, the NRC as well as KEPRI and other international regulatory agencies.
