A little bit about…

Lyne applied to a job ad at Trescal without knowing much about metrology. However, during her time at Trescal, she improved her business knowledge, honed her skills, and advanced her career. Today, she holds the position of Canada Customer Service Director.

My story

Ten years ago, when I arrived in Montreal, I stumbled upon a job advertisement for a customer service representative position. I applied without knowing what field it was in. Even today, when people ask me what field I work in, I mention metrology, which is still unfamiliar to most people. However, explaining the world of metrology is stimulating, as I love what I do.

Trescal has given me opportunities to grow within the company and challenges that I enjoy accomplishing. I have worked my way up from a customer service representative to a key account representative, service supervisor, and now the Canada Customer Service Director.

As part of my job, I have implemented work methods and procedures. What I enjoy most is developing the team and providing them with the same opportunities that Trescal has given me.

A little bit about…

In 2010, Angelique became a part of the Trescal family after the acquisition. She trained extensively in diverse technical domains at our Antwerp laboratory, which equipped her with relevant knowledge and expertise to teach her peers about anemometry and pressure calibration. Before Trescal, her area of specialization was repairing mechanical devices.

My story

My background is in gold and silversmithing, which led me to work at Fokker, pre-Trescal acquisition. During my time there, I specialized in repairing mechanical devices. When Trescal acquired Fokker in January 2010, I transitioned to Trescal’s Antwerp laboratory where I received training in different technical domains.

Having gained a wealth of knowledge in pressure and anemometry calibration, I was able to share my expertise and train others. Though I took a brief hiatus from Trescal in 2021, I resumed my work in the Antwerp laboratory in May 2023. I am drawn to my role at Trescal because it offers a balance between my work and personal life, presents technical challenges, and provides opportunities for career growth.

The multiple laboratories in Belgium and around the world allow me to work with colleagues from different backgrounds which I find to be a rewarding experience.

Nana completed his degree in Electronics Engineering, before starting his calibration career with Digital Measurement Metrology. He honed his skills in different technical areas including Electrical, Dimensional, Temperature, Pressure, Mass, and Mechanical domains. In 2017, Trescal acquired Digital Measurement Metrology, marking the start of Nana’s Trescal journey.

My story

I started my career at Digital Measurement Metrology, a small calibration company, which afforded many opportunities to expand my technical knowledge. In 2008, I studied and received training in the United Kingdom with a top manufacturer of Material Test Stands. Afterward, I helped to establish a field calibration program for Material Testing Machines, Service and Repair, Customer Support, and Software Training. Our efforts were successful, and we gained numerous new customers throughout Canada. To this day, this remains one of the company’s most robust programs.

In 2011, I assumed the roles of Quality Manager and Lab Manager. With certification in ISO 17025 program management from ANAB (formerly L.A.B), Internal Auditing from NACLA, and as a Certified Quality Auditor from ASQ, I was able to apply my experience and leadership skills to manage and support the laboratory’s day-to-day operations.

My Trescal journey began in 2017 when Trescal acquired Digital Measurement Metrology. My experience has been very positive, with the laboratory benefiting from investments such as a new Laser Measurement System and Humidity Chamber. I am thrilled with the growth over the past six years, enabling us to provide calibration services to more customers.

I look forward to the future at Trescal and am excited about the numerous upcoming projects. I feel optimistic about what lies ahead.

Luis started his professional journey at a calibration laboratory in England before moving on to work for Trescal in England, Malta, and Spain. He recently played a vital part in overseeing a laboratory situated on a client’s site in Malta.

My story

I used to work in a small calibration laboratory in England before Trescal recruited me. Joining a multinational company was a career advancement for me, and I saw it as an opportunity to develop new skills across different areas.

I developed a love for my job thanks to the welcoming atmosphere at the Bilbao laboratory. There are great people in every single department, and it is a pleasure for me to work with them.

Over the last few months, I had the opportunity to manage our calibration laboratory in Malta, which is part of one of our customer’s facilities. This project is great to be involved in, and it has equipped me with valuable management skills that I can use in the future.

Tom began his calibration profession in the US Navy. He later joined Trescal in our Charlotte, North Carolina laboratory as a Calibration Technician II after serving for eight years. Recently, he played a significant role in implementing the lab’s new automated primary pressure standard, enabling us to provide high accuracy calibrations and faster turnaround times for all our clients.

My story

I have eight years of calibration experience in the Navy, but I was still determining what I wanted to do career-wise when I left. I’ve always liked mechanics, so I got a job as a mechanic at a truck stop in Wyoming, but I quickly learned that I like mechanics as a hobby and not a career. Then, I saw a job listing with Trescal for a Calibration Technician III in Cornelius, NC, and I thought my Navy calibration experience might pay off. So here we are, one year later.

I enjoy a dynamic work environment. In the Navy, if you were skilled in a particular field or equipment, you were encouraged to continue working in that area. At Trescal, there are opportunities to acquire diverse skills and knowledge.

Working with my colleagues has been a valuable learning experience that has exceeded my expectations. The fact that many of my co-workers are also prior service is a nice touch, we all “get it”. In the service, we “embraced the suck” together. That mentality stays with someone, and I can see it daily here. A long day or significant workload didn’t matter then, and it doesn’t now. The team is in it together.

I am proud of a project I have just completed. I was directly involved in implementing Charlotte’s new automated primary pressure standard, allowing the lab to provide higher accuracy calibrations and decrease turnaround time for all our customers. Additionally, I was able to use the training provided on our company’s new ERP system to provide additional training and assistance to team members and help expedite the launch of this new system in our lab.
