National Inspection & Consultants, LLC (NIC) is a quality services and consulting firm established in 1977.

NIC was founded in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1977 to supply quality inspection and nondestructive examination services to the growing nuclear construction industry at that time. The company was relocated to Fort Myers, Florida in 1981. Since that time, we have grown to provide not only the original Quality Inspection and Nondestructive Examination (NDE) services, but also Auditing, Quality Consulting, QC/NDE Training and Industrial Services, and Providing Peak Load and Temporary Technical and Engineering Personnel to Others. Throughout the years, our client base has expanded to include Nuclear Operations and Maintenance (O&M), Fossil Power Plants, Aircraft and Aerospace industries, Industrial and Heavy Commercial Construction, and Industrial O&M support, as well as many other industries.

In 2024, NIC was acquired by Element Materials Technology, a global leader in testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) services for highly regulated end markets. As part of the Element family, NIC now offers customers an unparalleled range of safety-critical services in the fast-growing aerospace, space, defense, and energy industries.
