Thule Group has inaugurated an expanded global testing center in Hillerstorp, Sweden. The new lab features a doubling of space - from 600 to 1,200 square meters - and additional tools that enable the testing of all products in Thule's expanding product portfolio, thanks to an additional investment of SEK20 million (€2.1m-$2.4m) in equipment. Thule has developed its own “Thule Test Program” with more than 25 custom Thule standards, which are said to surpass ISO standards. The company stresses it performs both the standard tests required for products to be approved under the prevailing laws and regulations and more extreme and far-reaching tests. Short movies showing the testing of some products at the Thule Test Center can be seen on the company's YouTube channel.
