Princeton Junction, NJ – October 14, 2025 – MISTRAS Group (NYSE: MG), a global leader in technology-enabled asset integrity and inspection solutions, today announced it is partnering with Villari, a technology provider offering continuous visibility into fatigue and crack growth through a globally certified wireless crack-detection system for steel structures. The collaboration enables MISTRAS to offer Villari’s sensor technology to customers with any steel structure susceptible to cracking, advancing continuous, data-driven structural health monitoring and proactive maintenance.
Villari’s system detects early-stage crack growth and measures crack propagation in steel by monitoring passive magnetic flux leakage and plastic deformation (the “Villari effect”), delivering automated alerts and trend analytics through an online dashboard.
Together, we’re helping customers minimize unplanned downtime, optimize inspection and repair intervals, and extend asset life across wind turbines, bridges, cranes, and more.”
– Jonathan Burns, Vice President, Monitoring Technologies, MISTRAS Group.
“Pairing Villari’s certified wireless crack-detection system with MISTRAS’ monitoring expertise gives operators a continuous view of asset health, helping them act before minor defects become critical, or confidently delay replacement and non-critical repairs to maintain operational safety and uptime,” said Jonathan Burns, Vice President, Monitoring Technologies, MISTRAS Group. “Together, we’re helping customers minimize unplanned downtime, optimize inspection and repair intervals, and extend asset life across wind turbines, bridges, cranes, and more.”
At Villari, our mission is to empower asset owners with real-time insights into the integrity of their critical steel structures,”
