All research and development activities are managed centrally at Kiel. This is how we achieve the very best in innovation, standardisation and quality. We have our own test laboratory and testing equipment and carry out comprehensive durability, fire protection and crash tests in line with homologation standards, as well as tensile tests and life-cycle tests.
Furthermore, we have established an expert network within the field of research and development: we maintain long-term design collaborations with renowned companies and work closely with external design and development partners.
When it comes to the testing of our own products, we have our own plants, including a static testing facility, various endurance testing facilities and a plant for vibration tests. We work with renowned external institutes for dynamic and fire protection tests.
