Werkstoffprüfung

Your expert for comprehensive preventative inspections and damage analyses

Materials testing is an indispensable instrument for quality assurance and quality control in many industrial sectors. Gas and oil supply, aircraft and bridge construction and the power plant operation would be impossible without the comprehensive control of materials through materials testing. Each safety-relevant component of a product must be tested in detail.

First-class quality is of central importance, providing you with a decisive competitive advantage.  Extensive testing is required to ensure the quality of your products. Our comprehensive material testing procedures allow us to detect weak points promptly, ensuring improved quality of your products through detailed damage analyses. Security is crucial to the success of your projects.
