We’re thrilled to announce a major upgrade to our Physical Testing Laboratory! We’ve recently added a new tensile tester with enhanced strength capabilities, increasing from 1kN to 3kN. This upgrade sets a new benchmark for our testing processes, allowing us to evaluate materials that demand higher thresholds with greater precision.
