About us

Hohenstein - Quality to the point

Hohenstein is a family-owned company with more than 75 years of experience in testing, certification and research. With roots in the textile sector, the Hohenstein testing spectrum today includes both softlines and hardlines. Around the globe, more than 1,000 employees work on testing and service offerings such as testing for harmful substances, performance testing or fit testing for individual requirements. Customers from all over the world receive everything from a single source: Hohenstein accompanies companies along the entire value chain, from the testing process and certification to the marketing of their products. As a founding member, Hohenstein is one of the most important laboratories for OEKO-TEX®, the world's leading certifier of textile and leather goods.

Hohenstein is a competent partner when it comes to sustainable materials, products and processes. As one of only a few testing laboratories worldwide, Hohenstein provides proof of genetically unmodified organic cotton. Microplastic analysis and classification of the environmental impact of textiles during washing help with sustainable product development. Certification of the environmental performance of production sites provides evidence of sustainable production and working conditions. Comparative product tests provide customers with information on possible development potential and ensure greater market transparency. In the area of training and further education, the Hohenstein Academy provides online training courses in addition to an extensive range of classroom training courses.

Testing for chemicals and harmful substances. Our physical and chemical tests help you to comply with international standards, legal regulations and individual customer requirements.

OEKO-TEX® provides tools for management and communication of safety and sustainability efforts. The modular system ensures these services work together for traceability, transparency and cost reduction along the textile and leather supply chains.

Footwear Testing: Tested & Certified – Step by Step. We test and evaluate the quality, safety, function, fit and legal conformity of all types of footwear and award our Hohenstein Quality Label for promoting your products.
