Company Background

In 1980, Don Johnson started Metal Samples Company with two employees machining metal specimens for corrosion and mechanical testing. From the beginning, his goal has been to operate this business based on Christian principles. With blessings from God, the company (now corporately known as Alabama Specialty Products, Inc.) has grown to include over 250 employees and has developed new products and technologies to meet the needs of our growing number of customers worldwide.

In 1991, Alabama Research and Development was created as a division to provide engineering services, including new product development. The company has been the recipient of two U.S. government grants for  development of its medical product line.

In 1993, Alabama Laser Technologies was started to serve as a laser processing and research technology center. The company provides laser cutting and welding job shop services.

In 1997, Alabama Laser Systems was formed to handle research, development, and production of high-speed laser cutting machines. The company also offers custom-built laser cutting and welding systems, as well as laser beam delivery equipment.

Also in 1997, Metal Samples bought out Cortest Instrument Systems’ corrosion monitoring product line to form Metal Samples Corrosion Monitoring Systems.
