Manufacturer Identification
Identification services are performed to determine the manufacturer, model, and origin of products or components when markings are missing, incomplete, or disputed. This process is supported by access to hundreds of exemplar products, allowing for direct comparison of design features, construction details, and configurations. Findings help advance claims handling, subrogation efforts, and litigation strategy.
