On April 13, international product design students of the OE Rejtő Faculty took part in a study visit at one of the major Hungarian research institutes. The visiting group was accompanied by Prokai Piroska, the master teacher of the Faculty.
INNOVATEXT Textile Engineering and Testing Institute – founded in 1949 – is the central research, development and testing basis of the Hungarian textile and apparel industry.
The visitors was welcomed by the leading expert Mrs. Andrásné Kovács, who explained that their success is based on the high quality of service, commitment to the environment and social responsibility with which they want to achieve their costumer’s satisfaction. The institutes give quality advice to the clients (manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, etc.), for example: in the field of environment protection and recycling, and conduct on-site quality control tests.
After the short introduction the students were able to get to know the modern laboratories equipped with test equipment suitable for conducting chemical and physical tests, as well as the test methods.
