Kiwa Italia launches its new Plastic Laboratory in Bologna, with a focus on technology and innovation

The new Kiwa plastic laboratory, developed to respond to the actual needs of the market and to a constantly evolving sector such as Water&Gas, will offer manufacturers a wide range of laboratory tests conducted with the most advanced instruments and by an expert and competent staff. 

The inauguration of the new Plastic Laboratory will take place on Tuesday 12 November at Kiwa Italia Group Headquarters in Granarolo dell' Emilia, Bologna. The new Testing Facility joins the solid fuel testing laboratories launched in 2016 in San Vendemiano (TV), the solar laboratory opened in 2017 in Cormano (MI) and the already existing metrological, mechanical and metallurgical (Bologna) and gas fuel (San Vendemiano) laboratories.

The opening of the Kiwa Italia Plastic Laboratory responds to the increasingly stringent demands of an ever-changing sector, with the aim of supporting companies in their growth and innovation, both nationally and internationally. From characterization of raw materials to tests on finished products, from tests on small sizes to remarkable volumes, the completeness of the activities of the new Plastic Laboratory make it unique in its field and suitable to meet the multiple needs of the market.

The totally new testing machinery and instruments, interconnected by IoT and aligned with the latest versions of the standards, guarantee reliability and precision when conducting tests, without gaps in continuity and under the competent supervision of Kiwa technicians. The wide range of laboratory tests allows the manufacturer of Water&Gas Utilities to find in Kiwa the unique partner for every need related to the products, from the thermo-hydraulic ones to those used in transport and distribution, thanks to a local test laboratory that provides the key to access global markets.
