See Our Laboratory
We want to deliver high value products to our customers and bring up innovations in the shortest possible time. In order to achieve the requirements of our customers concerning technical requirements and visual aspects we support our development and production with our own internal lab.
Here we test the products and materials under the conditions of an entire lifetime of the vehicle including weather simulations of all kinds, as well as mechanical and chemical requirements.
