Problem
Anyone who is unfamiliar with testing would be surprised at its size and scope. Everything that reaches the market, the end consumer, industry, construction or most modern businesses, will have undergone some form of test or quality control. Today, it would be unthinkable for a chair to break after a few days of use, or a vehicle component to succumb to physical stress, or a pipe being unable to withstand the internal pressures of the liquid running through it. The guarantee for this not happening is the countless tests performed on materials and components. And these tests and controls are carried out with machines such as those manufactured by Hoytom, and which incorporate top-quality equipment to ensure reliable and accurate results. All this is done in line with the needs of profitability, lead times and other requirements set by the users of these machines.
