LOM GmbH (Labor für Oberflächen & Materialien) is an independent Swiss center of competence for materials engineering, wear, corrosion, and fracture investigations. Established in 2001 and headquartered in Oberbüren, Canton of St. Gallen, LOM operates an in-house 600 m² laboratory certified under ISO 9001 and is active in Swiss Testing Labs and the Swiss Tribology network.

Rather than relying purely on standardized serial routines, LOM specializes in complex problem-solving, materials consulting, and root-cause failure analysis. The firm works directly within customer development teams, combining high-end analytical equipment with portable diagnostic instruments for on-site worldwide investigations.
