Laboratory
The laboratory at BINS is one of Brazil’s best set up for the rubber goods industry, relying on a wide range of the latest equipment, allowing us to conduct all the main tests our customers demand for their rubber technical parts, both in terms of development and production control.
So as to ensure that we meet the automotive sector’s increasingly strict technical requirements and specifications, with the new technology we employ in mind, BINS invests constantly in improving our technical staff qualifications. To this end, the company participates in a variety of conferences and trade fairs, with the purpose of seeking out and identifying innovative, economical solutions towards the development of new compounds and improving the production processes we employ.
