G-TEC: THE GLEEBLE TESTING & EDUCATION CENTER
Hands-On Training & Contract Testing
Europe's authorized Gleeble testing center. Outsource your thermomechanical simulation and high-temperature materials testing to certified Gleeble experts — or enroll your team in structured, hands-on Gleeble operator training courses at our state-of-the-art DSI Europe facility.
THE GLEEBLE TESTING AND EDUCATIION CENTER
G-TEC — the Gleeble Testing and Education Center — is the official European facility for Gleeble thermomechanical simulation, physical simulation, and high-temperature materials testing. Operated by DSI Europe, the European subsidiary of Dynamic Systems Inc. (DSI), G-TEC is located in Illertissen, Bavaria, Germany, serving researchers, engineers, and materials scientists across Europe and globally.
Whether your organization needs to outsource thermomechanical simulation testing to certified Gleeble experts, or you want to maximize your existing Gleeble investment through structured Gleeble operator training, G-TEC delivers both under one roof — equipped with the latest Gleeble systems and supported by deeply experienced professionals.
DSI Europe's G-TEC facility bridges the gap between equipment ownership and operational excellence, helping European customers accelerate materials R&D without the overhead of in-house capacity constraints.
"At G-TEC, we are committed to empowering Gleeble users with the tools and knowledge they need to unlock the full potential of their equipment. Our facility provides advanced testing and simulation services alongside comprehensive training programs to ensure users can leverage Gleeble technology to its fullest."
HAVE A TESTING CHALLENGE OR TRAINING NEED?
Our certified Gleeble experts are ready to help you design a contract testing program or build a training curriculum for your team. Whether you're evaluating a new alloy, validating a process, or looking to maximize your Gleeble investment — G-TEC has the expertise and equipment to deliver.
TWO WAYS TO WORK WITH G-TEC
Whether you need expert-executed contract testing or want to build operator capability within your team, G-TEC has a structured program for you.
CONTRACT TESTING
Outsource Your Thermomechanical Simulation Testing
G-TEC's Gleeble contract testing service lets you access premium physical simulation capabilities without owning the equipment. Gleeble experts at DSI Europe collaborate with your team to design and execute testing programs tailored to your specific research and development objectives — delivering high-precision data on your materials under the exact thermal and mechanical conditions they will face in real-world use.
This service is ideal for organizations evaluating new alloys, validating manufacturing processes, or running one-time or periodic testing campaigns where maintaining a full Gleeble installation in-house is not cost-effective.
