ESTABLISHED 1954

The Arrowhead Company was established in 1954 as an independent inspection agency whose primary function was to provide quality-testing services to the high and low-pressure compressed gas container industry. After approval from the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), the approval authority, Arrowhead established itself by providing highly qualified services to our first client in New Jersey. Later, the newly established Canadian Transport Commission (CTC) granted approval. After a pattern of continual growth, The Arrowhead Company re-structured into Arrowhead Industrial Services, Inc. (AISI) in 1964.

With the establishment of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), and the transfer of authority from the ICC, came the more formal approval process for Independent Inspection agencies. Under the rules of the newly established Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA) of the DOT, Arrowhead Industrial Services was granted the first approval as an independent inspection agency (IA01).

Since that time Arrowhead has been officially recognized and issued approvals by over ten national authorities as well as various branches of the Department of Defense (DOD).

Today, our staff consists of engineers, technicians and quality management specialists whose credentials and expertise in the compressed gas container industry qualifies Arrowhead as the premier inspection agency for gas container testing and analysis.

Coupling our multi-national staff with our network of international office locations in the United States, Japan and The United Kingdom, along with our full service laboratories located in North Carolina and California, make our service the most responsive and highly qualified in the world.
