Whether product testing with proof of quality or analyses and expert opinions after damage cases - the Testing business unit supports your product policy and provides valuable arguments for the sales markets. Specialist conferences and courses on all aspects of plastics as well as on interdisciplinary topics make it possible to benefit from the recipes for success of strong companies and their experts in order to effectively incorporate these practices into everyday business. Not only in times of a shortage of skilled workers are companies in the industry well advised to push their own skilled worker qualification and to compensate for bottlenecks caused by new techniques and volume increases in production by means of specialised further training. The SKZ is a recognised DVGW course centre and offers you industry-specific and practice-oriented courses in the field of joining plastics with the possibility of a corresponding and recognised qualification according to DVS, DVGW, AGFW or EN guidelines. In research and development, the focus is clearly on the future in projects with direct practical relevance: From materials to production processes and component properties to the evaluation of processes and products under economic and ecological aspects. The research results directly serve operational practice for the benefit of quality and efficiency. Simply being aware of one's own company processes through activities within the framework of management certification constantly uncovers potential for improvement - a tailwind that no company today should do without. The SKZ is supported by the FSKZ e. V. - the Association for the Promotion of the Plastics Centre. Its members include successful companies in the plastics industry and related sectors. Membership in the association means the opportunity to fight for top positions in the team - to network, to benefit from the excellent contacts in terms of content and to be able to represent plastics-specific interests more sustainably with a successful team.

SORTCO GmbH & Co. KG has been offering optical sorting and detailed laboratory testing and analysis of plastic raw materials as a professional service since 2015. Contaminations such as black specks, discolourations and metal particles are reliably detected from a size of 50µm and removed from the material flow. The material quality created in this way noticeably reduces production waste from downstream processing steps, improves reproducible processes and thus ensures the delivery of defect-free, high-quality raw materials. In this way, production downtime costs, complaints and image damage can be avoided.
