Hohenstein: Trusted Testing & Certification for Textiles, Hardlines and Medical Devices
With over 75 years of expertise, Hohenstein is a trusted global partner for independent testing, certification and applied research. While rooted in textiles, our services now encompass a broad spectrum of products, including soft goods, consumer hardlines and regulated medical devices. We help brands, manufacturers and suppliers ensure safety, compliance, sustainability and performance throughout their global supply chains.
Consider Real Life
At Hohenstein, we test how products perform—in real life, not just the lab. Whether it’s a fabric, a finished garment, a medical device or a hardline product, we design testing strategies based on how people actually use them.
Our applied research and testing simulate real-world conditions like:
- Wear and usage stress
- Washing, cleaning and disinfection
- Environmental exposure
- Long-term durability and safety
- User comfort and fit in motion
By focusing on realistic scenarios, we help you make better decisions about materials, design and claims—so your products not only meet standards, but also live up to expectations in everyday use.
Reduce Risk
Regulations are tightening. Consumers are paying closer attention. One misstep in quality or compliance can damage your reputation—and your bottom line.
We help you reduce product and business risk through:
- Smart testing plans tailored to your products, supply chain, users and markets
- Compliance with global laws and standards
- Verification of product claims to avoid misleading messaging
- Proactive quality assurance throughout development and production
- Certification support to streamline market access
Our expertise and efficient testing strategies help you avoid costly recalls, reputational damage and compliance issues—while protecting your brand and your budget.
