Proof in Every Result
For 80 years, Hohenstein has thought ahead—with integrity, responsibility and scientific depth. We provide independent testing, certification and advisory services grounded in scientific precision and real-world relevance.
Operating worldwide, we work with diligence—openly, reliably and with a solution-driven mindset. As experts in testing for textiles, consumer goods and medical devices, we share one goal: to build trust—with integrity.
A third-generation, family-owned company, Hohenstein employs ~1,500 at our headquarters in Bönnigheim, Germany and our labs and offices around the world — advancing industries through customized testing and applied research.
Excellence starts with care.
For Hohenstein, quality begins with integrity, not control. It is a choice, made every day.
We believe true excellence comes from taking responsibility seriously — from looking closely, thinking ahead and acting with care. You see it in how products are tested, how complex challenges are solved and how results are delivered.
We are committed to ensuring that products not only perform as intended, but are developed responsibly — for the people who use them, for the environment in which they are made and for the future we all share.
For more than 80 years, Hohenstein has lived these values. Every day, we put them into practice. Care is not an afterthought. It is the starting point and the standard. When care is the foundation, trust is built, innovation thrives and excellence follows.
