With cutting-edge equipment and more than 25 years of experience, the company is not only an essential provider of quality assurance, but also an important partner in the development of new materials and products.

New materials for aviation
New materials and production technologies are set to fundamentally alter the aviation industry. In addition to the weight reduction of components, sustainable production technologies are increasingly coming to the fore, as are growing demands for stability and strength. The aerospace and urban air mobility sectors, in particular, require the further development and quality assurance of existing materials and technologies. Further expanding testing and measuring technologies is thus of great importance to FACC.
“I am very much looking forward to our cross-company collaboration, which will allow us to make an important contribution to quality assurance and product development to the benefit of our customers. We stand for outstanding quality and high-precision testing methods, and I wish to continue this in the future,” comments Martin Mistlberger on his new role as Managing Director of CoLT Prüf und Test GmbH.
