Our Institute

STORIES

Research, testing and certification are activities that require custom-designed working areas with the latest in laboratory equipment. The interior layout plays an essential role alongside the technical facilities per se. The working environment must allow our staff to develop ideas and interact in an interdisciplinary manner. We have created the ideal setting to achieve this.
