To support the development of new products and articles, a well-equipped physical testing laboratory has been set up with facilities for testing and evaluating cold flex resistance, finish adhesion, wet and dry flex resistance, Maeser water resistance, Taber abrasion resistance and wet and dry rub fastness.
Detailed reports can be prepared on leather finishes produced both by customers and in-house. In addition to these facilities, extensive space has also been provided for support staff offices and meeting rooms while a showroom is currently being completed for displaying the latest fashion articles and technological developments in leather finishing.
Two members of Stahl's technical service team from Singapore have been relocated to Shanghai to run the day to day operations which will be managed by Fabrizio Ugolini who has many years of experience in producing both fashionable and commercial leathers around the world.
Additional technical support will be provided through visits by technical experts selected from around the world. Stahl's new applications laboratory is located on the ground floor of the same building as Stahl Trading (Shanghai) Co Ltd from where financial, customer and administration support is provided for Stahl's Chinese businesses.
