Testing services provider Hohenstein has opened a new textile testing laboratory in Gurugram, India, expanding its tailor-made services to one of the world’s textile hotspots.
The 3,000 square metre Hohenstein India laboratory will employ around 50 workers, and will offer textile manufacturers, brand suppliers and retailers a variety of textile technology and chemical tests such as performance testing, restricted substance list (RSL) compliance, harmful substance control, quality control and inspections, and expert report services.

“For more than 70 years, Hohenstein has stood for textile expertise along the entire textile production chain,” says Prof Dr Stefan Mecheels, who is managing in the third generation of the family run business. “With the new laboratories in India and Bangladesh, we’re growing a network of expertise from which everyone will benefit.
“Good, consistent cooperation is very important for Hohenstein: close exchange between the laboratories in Germany, Hong Kong, Bangladesh and India ensures more customer proximity and faster order processing. Wherever the examinations, tests and analyses take place, our laboratories all work with the most modern equipment according to the same standards.”
In July, the company opened a textile testing laboratory with a comprehensive service portfolio in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
