STFI testing center strongly positioned in plastics testing

With our accredited testing facility, we are a reliable partner for testing – and offer far more than traditional textile testing procedures. Our portfolio includes over 1,700 listed and applicable test procedures, including numerous standards for plastics. In addition to plastic-coated textiles, we also test pure plastic products – from foams and fiber-reinforced plastics to films.

Marian Hierhammer, head of the testing center, explains:

"The boundaries between textiles and plastics are becoming increasingly blurred—and our customers' requirements are changing as a result. Our offering has grown with this and now covers a broad material-specific spectrum."
