For more than 35 years, Exponent has provided superior engineering and
scientific consulting services nationwide.
The full range of Exponent's 70+ disciplines can be accessed
through any of our offices. Exponent has been serving clients
from its Southern California offices since 1976.
Exponent's Southern California offices serve clientele in
all of the Southland's diverse and thriving economic centers:
from Downtown corporate headquarters to South Bay refineries;
from Harborside shipping hubs to Inland Empire construction
concerns; from Hollywood special effects studios to Orange
County high-tech incubators; from Century City law offices
to San Fernando Valley manufacturing interests. We work on
cases involving products as small as fishing lures and as
large as jumbo jet airplanes.
