Whether for textiles, hardlines or medical devices – we make quality visible. With testing that goes beyond the laboratory, certification that opens doors, and consulting that shows what really matters. Your products should not only meet specifications, but also build trust – among customers, markets and partners. For almost 80 years, Hohenstein has been supporting companies along the entire value chain: from material analysis and regulatory compliance to international market launch. Our global network of laboratories, branches and contact offices in more than 50 countries offers you optimal accessibility while ensuring short service and turnaround times. This creates trust – in products, processes and partnerships. Worldwide and independently.

Testing for chemicals and harmful substances Validation of legal conformity and product requirements that go beyond statutory needs (such as testing for harmful substances according to REACH, CPSIA and individual RSLs) Wastewater and sludge testing according to individual requirements (ZDHC, OEKO-TEX®, Greenpeace)

Nowadays, customers look for more than high-quality products alone. It is just as important to them that the items they purchase are safe from harmful substances and produced in an ethical and environmentally friendly way. The consumer has no way of checking either of these requirements while making their purchase – however, with our OEKO-TEX® product labels, we can make these features visible and provide a greater level of safety and transparency.

Textile technology testing Quality testing (colour fastness, fibre fineness, dimensional stability, strength of fabrics) Performance testing (such as water resistance, waterproofness, breathability/permeability to air, pilling, washing tests, etc.) Determination of fibre composition (Textile Labelling Act)

Whether traditional or digital, clothing has to fit. Sizes, patterns and fit are crucial. Do you want to reduce your returns? Do you want to optimise your fit? Are you redefining your target group? Are you bringing pattern expertise back in-house? Do you want to digitalise your processes? Find out more: https://www.hohenstein.com/en/expertise/fit

We can fit - with measuring tape or scanner Hohenstein combines tradition with the future: for over 75 years, we have been focussing on body sizes, patterns and the fit of clothing products. In numerous projects, we have researched the basics and details, tried them out and prepared them for our customers in such a way that they become even more successful. We support you with our expertise from the product idea to the market launch. We are happy to put together customised service packages for you. With Hohenstein, you benefit from our many years of expertise in fit and pattern paired with 3D expertise.

We digitise materials. By digitising the material behaviour, you can achieve a realistic 3D simulation and a reliable fit. We carry out standardised testing of your materials in our accredited Hohenstein laboratories. Among other things, we test drapeability, movement and stretch.
