Provex Labs Inc. offers a fully turnkey environmental testing laboratory — built on 23 years of Silicon Valley manufacturing excellence, ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, and exclusive territory rights.
HASTEST Solutions, Inc. was founded in 2002 in a Silicon Valley laboratory by reliability engineers who saw a critical gap: technology companies had no local, expert partner for accelerated stress testing.
Over 23 years, HASTEST grew from an authorised Hirayama HAST distributor into a vertically integrated manufacturer, accredited laboratory operator, and now — a global franchisor. Every franchisee inherits 23 years of brand credibility, proprietary equipment access, and an ISO/IEC 17025 playbook that took a decade to build.
Customers include NVIDIA, the US Navy, major automotive OEMs, aerospace contractors, and Silicon Valley's leading semiconductor companies. In 2019, HASTEST completed the largest dual sand & dust test chamber for a TÜV customer facility in Dubai — validating the international demand that makes this franchise opportunity compelling.
Franchisees inherit the full power of three integrated companies — unavailable to any independent competitor.
HASTEST's own trademarked brand of environmental test chambers — temperature/humidity, thermal shock, salt spray, UV ageing, solar radiation, and more. Franchisees buy at manufacturer cost-plus pricing, saving $80K–$150K vs. retail competitors.

23 years. Hundreds of customers. One promise — your franchise inherits it all from Day 1.
Testing is not optional — it is mandated by law, insurance, and procurement rules in every sector that makes physical products. Recurring, non-discretionary demand.
Simulate real-world thermal stress -70°C to +180°C. Essential for semiconductors, automotive electronics, and aerospace components.
Hirayama PC-422R8 — the gold standard for semiconductor reliability qualification. HASTEST is the exclusive North America distributor.
Rapid transitions from -65°C to +150°C in under 15 seconds. Identifies solder joint failures and material delamination in PCBs and assemblies.
Simulate marine and industrial corrosive environments. Critical for automotive, defence, offshore energy, and marine electronics.
Accelerated photodegradation for solar panels, plastics, coatings, and outdoor electronics. Xenon arc and fluorescent UV systems.
Full IPX1–IPX9K suite. Mandatory for consumer electronics, automotive, military, and outdoor equipment entering the market.
Settling and blowing dust tests for mobile devices, defence equipment, automotive sensors, and industrial electronics operating in arid environments.
LiFePO4/NMC capable chambers for EV battery qualification. UN 38.3 transport tests, IEC 62133 certification, and thermal runaway safety testing.
Full-vehicle environmental testing in 180 m³ drive-in chambers. Temperature cycling, humidity, salt spray, and solar radiation for EV platforms.
Eliminate early-life failures through accelerated operational stress. Standard practice for semiconductors, military electronics, and mission-critical systems.
NIST-traceable calibration for customer-owned temperature, humidity, and pressure equipment. A high-margin, guaranteed-recurring revenue stream.
Multi-channel real-time monitoring with cloud backup. Customer portal access to live test data, reports, and certificates. Differentiates from local competitors.
We are manufacturer, accredited lab operator, and franchisor — a vertically integrated system that gives every franchisee structural advantages from Day 1.
Franchisees buy Nviro chambers at manufacturer's cost-plus. Competitors pay full retail. That's $80K–$150K in savings on the initial investment — a structural moat that permanently lowers your breakeven.
Engineers at NVIDIA, the US Navy, and major semiconductor fabs already know and trust HASTEST. You inherit that credibility on Day 1 — no brand-building required, no cold-start penalty.
HASTEST holds the accreditation and has codified every SOP, form, calibration record, and audit trail. Your path to ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation is a proven roadmap, not a guessing game.
A fully exclusive geographic territory. HASTEST will not operate, license, or authorize any competing HASTEST lab within your boundaries for the full franchise term. Your market is yours.
Franchise labs access Hirayama HAST chambers as part of the HASTEST North America distribution agreement. Competitors cannot buy these systems through any other channel at comparable pricing.
Testing is mandated by JEDEC, MIL-STD, IEC, ISO, and FDA. Customers cannot skip it to cut costs — they merely look for better-value local options. Your franchise serves inelastic, recurring demand.
Every procedure, form, and quality record from ReliaTest Labs is yours to replicate.
