Smithers has experience in testing a wide range of products including tires, components parts, compounded rubber, plastic, and/or metal. The on-site testing laboratories in Akron (OH), Ravenna (OH), Shrewsbury (UK) Billingham (UK) are ISO and UKAS accredited respectively for testing to national or international standards.
Our team of consultants and technologists create customized testing programs to meet the demands of manufacturers looking to provide proof that their products are of the highest standard and fit for purpose. When taking a new or revised product to market having it validated by a reputable independent test house will likely increase its acceptance in the marketplace
