Mechanical-technological tests of facade elements

With respect to customer satisfaction and achieving the greatest possible benefit to the customer, permanent quality assurance and improvement of our products and services is one of our main concerns.

Before our products arrive on the market, they undergo a very wide variety of endurance tests that are carried out as part of our wider programme of prototype and development tests. For these, we have an advanced and efficient testing centre in the shape of the International Technology Centre (ITC) at our main location in Leinfelden-Echterdingen.

Across 1,400 m2 of floor space, we use state-of-the-art equipment and devices to carry out comprehensive mechanical-technological tests on windows, doors, hardware and metallic materials.
