Stahl expands with two new Application Labs in Pakistan

07 December 2016

We opened two new Application Labs in Pakistan in the beginning of December. One set up in Lahore, the other in Sialkot, both these labs focus on the development of new fashion items and the further enhancement of customer services for leather and performance coating solutions for synthetics. The Lahore and Sialkot labs are both backed-up by the latest global solutions and have a strong aftercare division. In addition, the physical testing services for new products are excellent in the Lahore Lab. With the addition of these new labs, Stahl is able to meet the most stringent requirements for shoe uppers and customers in leather and synthetic garments, leather goods and upholstery throughout Pakistan.

The Application Lab in Lahore inaugurated on Monday 5 December, 2016. Mr. Tuncay Deriner, Stahl’s Managing Director SIPL and IPB Region, spoke at the occasion along with SPPL Directors Mr. Muhammad Anwar Iqbal and Mr. Ashraf Bajwa. At the opening, guests experienced first-hand how Stahl cooperates with customers to let them grow their business.

“We now have a fully equipped Lab in Lahore and we cover the entire process from soaking to finish, both for Wet-End and Finishing. But not only the leather division is well represented, performance coatings is a stronghold too,” Mr. Tuncay Deriner says. “In addition, we possess the right machineries for Aftercare. Thanks to our state-of-the-art-machineries and physical testing facilities, we are able to meet the most stringent requirements of our customers in the Lahore region.”
