Materials Research Service
Our materials research service helps you to understand the challenges related to materials and their properties. Research and testing is carried out throughout the entire product manufacturing process: from raw materials to intermediates and finished products.
Know your product features
Material science can be used to predict how a product will perform during its intended use, whether as a raw material in a process or as a finished product. These studies investigate the effect of different conditions or mechanical stresses on the properties of materials and products and the durability of materials under in-service stress. Material structure research can be used to understand the causes of material properties or to investigate the extent and mechanisms of damage that has occurred. Materials research is the basis for developing the desired properties and optimising the composition of a raw material or product. Examples of materials that can be tested include polymeric materials (plastics, resins, adhesives, rubbers, paints, and multilayer films), composites, wood and metal products, and coatings/coated materials.
Over a decade of analytical services
We provide tests to support quality assurance and act as an impartial party in case of disputes. Our resources include skilled and highly trained staff, a comprehensive range of equipment, and appropriate laboratory facilities. Where necessary, we have a wide network of partners at our disposal.

Product Development Services
Our product development services can help you refine your idea and help you design and conceptualise your product. We carry out a wide range of testing and measurement assignments for products and prototypes, which provide information for product development or demonstrate compliance, for example.
Our product development service package includes a wide range of possibilities for prototyping and batch production. For prototyping, we can use the equipment in our laboratories, including metalworking, woodworking and rapid modelling equipment. Our product development services also include various needs assessments, technology studies, pre-studies, and research services related to foresight.
