Midwest Elements is a privately held laboratory and refinery group serving clients across North America and abroad.
Founded on a commitment to precision, transparency, and scientific excellence, the company operates multiple facilities throughout the Midwestern United States, providing analytical, metallurgical, and materials-testing services to industrial, research, and governmental partners.

Our operations combine the rigor of a certified analytical laboratory with the flexibility of an independent contract facility — allowing clients to engage us for targeted projects, long-term programs, or full-service process outsourcing.
Every engagement is managed under strict confidentiality, with a focus on traceable data, controlled procedures, and reliable delivery.

Experience & Expertise

With decades of combined experience in metallurgy, chemistry, and applied materials science, Midwest Elements brings together a multidisciplinary team of analysts, engineers, and technical specialists.
Our laboratories support a broad range of projects, from precious-metal refining and mineral validation to advanced materials characterization and research-grade data generation.

Our work adheres to recognized standards such as ASTM, ISO, and EPA protocols — ensuring consistency, auditability, and interoperability with both domestic and international quality systems.
Each facility is designed to maintain the same high level of procedural control, documentation, and client confidentiality across all sites.

Partnerships & Collaboration

Midwest Elements maintains active and historical collaborations with:

• Industrial manufacturers and material suppliers

• Government and defense contractors (DoD and allied partners)

• Environmental and regulatory agencies

• Academic and research institutions

• International engineering and trade entities

Through these relationships, we’ve supported projects ranging from resource validation and strategic-material analysis to compliance testing and process-scale pilot work for government and private sector initiatives.

While details of client engagements remain confidential, these partnerships reflect our ongoing role as a trusted laboratory and technical partner within high-security and precision-driven industries.

Facilities & Reach

Our facilities are strategically located across the Midwestern United States, with laboratory and refining operations optimized for accessibility, logistics efficiency, and data security.
Each site is equipped to perform independent analytical and refining work or function as part of a coordinated, multi-facility workflow for larger contracts.

Through secure data management systems and standardized operating procedures, all client work — whether regional or international — is maintained with full traceability and documentation integrity.

Our Commitment

Midwest Elements operates at the intersection of science, engineering, and trust.
As a private, independent organization, we are free to prioritize precision over production, confidentiality over publicity, and client outcomes over scale.

Our mission is to deliver dependable laboratory and refining support to organizations that value discretion, traceability, and accuracy — whether they operate in the commercial, governmental, or research domain.
