Fails WP:NCORP. The article has two citations to the same trade magazine, but per WP:ORGIND there is a presumption against the use of coverage in trade magazines to establish notability. I'm not able to find significant coverage from multiple independent secondary reliable sources, meaning that this fails to satisfy WP:ORGCRIT. I do not see any article into which this can be merged or redirected, so I believe that this should be deleted in line with WP:DEL-REASON#8. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 18:16, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Article fails WP:GNG and more specifically WP:ORG (especially when viewing the trade papers through WP:ORGIND). While their "HYD 25 testing apparatus" and "Beam-Flex" are somewhat popular in multiple asphalt-related research papers cited in Google Scholar and compilation works in Google Books, they are discussing a specific product used in testing, not the company that makes it; any mention of the company itself in these instances is trivial. Newspapers.com returned exactly 1 result, which again is a trivial mention. - Aoidh (talk) 22:10, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
