KTA’s Future Labs group tests Highway projects today, so Drivers and Pedestrians have a safer tomorrow.

Established in 1995, Future Labs, LLC provides independent laboratory certification and quality testing for Highway Safety Products and raw materials. We deliver results for ASTM, AASHTO, State DOTs, ISO, EN, and other international specifications—often in as little as 24 hours.

With over 25 years of dedicated service evaluating Highway Safety Products and more than 33 years of experience researching, testing, developing, and producing polymeric products, Future Labs has built a reputation for accuracy, reliability, and speed. Our mission is to provide clear, dependable answers to product quality questions.

Our Legacy of Trust and Safety

We partner with industries, municipalities, and government agencies to ensure that the products you purchase are the products you receive. Whether it’s product testing, polymeric product evaluation, road marking testing, road striping testing, or comprehensive highway safety services, we provide accurate results with rapid turnaround.

New highway safety products are continuously introduced, often with limited performance history. From evaluating retroreflectivity on Raised Pavement Markers to measuring the slip resistance of Detectable Warning Systems, our job is to make sure these products meet or exceed the highest safety standards.

Advancing Industry Standards

As part of our mission to elevate safety and quality across the industry, we collaborate with:

• ATSSA
• AASHTO
• ASTM International
• State Departments of Transportation

Together, we strengthen safety standards, product specifications, and testing methodologies. In addition to testing, we also design and manufacture testing equipment for highway safety products.

A New Chapter with KTA

Future Labs expanded their capabilities by joining KTA in 2025. KTA acquired them in 2025. As part of the KTA family, we bring even greater resources and expertise to every project, enabling more robust testing solutions that support innovation, compliance, and—above all—public safety.

Future Labs, LLC tests Highway Products today so Drivers and Pedestrians have a Safer Tomorrow. From the products placed on our roads to the standards that govern them, we stand behind every test we perform.
