Burgdorf/CH, Shanghai: For the first time in the over 50 years of company history SANITIZED AG, world-wide leading specialist for antimicrobial hygiene protection, is collaborating with an external testing institute. Without delay the Shanghai office of SGS (Société Générale de Surveillance) will carry out quality testing on the basis of the SANITIZED requirements on finished textiles. With this new service SANITIZED is reacting to a growing work load and is drastically shortening the “Time to Market” for customers.
To receive a Sanitized® license contract and to be able to profit from the Sanitized® Brand SANITIZED AG, as only such company in its field, requires quality testing on end-products. This offers consumers a clear purchasing confidence and guarantees a constant quality level (no health risk as well as high durability and washing resistance).
Due to the growing number of European customers that manufacture in China SANITIZED AG was triggered to look for an external partner to carry out the quality testing. The decision was made for SGS because of the company’s professionalism as well as the excellent reputation.
“For SANITIZED a cooperation with an external testing institute only came in question, if our high restrictions could be completely fulfilled and guaranteed”, comments Urs Stalder, Head of Marketing SANITIZED AG. As a result of extensive and detailed preparations it can now be assured, that all testing outside of the company headquarters, in the Swiss town of Burgdorf, is executed according to the same standards. The analysis of the results as well as the consulting services through SANITIZED experts will be maintained.
SANITIZED customers can directly profit from the partnership because of the improvement of the logistical process (time for delivery of product sample to Switzerland and back diminish), the considerable reduction of the time involved which results in an actual shortening of the Time to Market. In addition, the completing of the quality testing by a renowned institute offers end consumers maximum safety.
Sensitized by alarming quality problems on articles produced in China in other areas (toys), the number of producers and dealers looking for highest possible safety for their products has increased. They appreciate the possibility to do on-site quality testing and that without causing delays.
