Research & Development
Your agile and innovative development partner
Take a step into our Innovation Center
We have concentrated our highly skilled R&D team and state of the art innovative equipment in one place. By doing so, we believe that innovation thrives the best, so we can create a performance optimised solution for your product.
Our extensive R&D capabilities consist of the key elements:
- Sound lab
- Chemical lab
- Test lab
- 3D print lab
- LCA and sustainability
- Construction

Sound lab
In our inhouse sound lab we test the noise levels of your product. This is done with a root cause analysis to identify the source of the noise.
The sound lab is a semi anechoic chamber: an echo free room where the only reflecting surface is the floor. The other surfaces are covered with sound absorbing foam, PureSound(r) and the room is completedly decoupled from surroundings, which means noise vibrations from the outside do not interfere with test results.
When we have made a performance optimised solution, we will test the product in the sound lab again and document the improvements.
Test lab
In our test lab we have state of the art test equipment to secure our customers documentation and specifications. Our R&D Technician tests:
- Mechanical features, including hardness, compression, tensile and shear strength
- Airflow resistance
- Ball rebound
- Lambda value
3D print lab
In our 3D print lab, we use additive manufacturing technology to make moulds for prototype and mass production.
LCA and sustainability
We have internal sustainability competences, including:
- Product carbon footprint calculation
- ESG reporting
- GHG protocol
- Life Cycle Assessment
- Data optimisation
