Texbase, Inc., a cloud-based data management platform for the textile and consumer product industries announces a collaboration with the global textile testing partner, Hohenstein.

As a Texbase Lab Connect partner, Hohenstein customers can collaborate, send test requests and receive test reports within Texbase Connect. In addition, data export files for digitized materials can be attached to their specific materials in the system. “Texbase has facilitated an improved workflow for our brand customers. Adding this system to our earlier OEKO-TEX® CertLlink project gives our partners easy access to the data they need - in one location instead of having to manage multiple emails,” said Ben Mead, Managing Director, Hohenstein Institute America.

Hohenstein is a global leader in textile testing and innovation, specializing in applied research and development around the human - textile - environment interaction. Their lab testing determines compliance with legal requirements, standards, international specifications and internal quality guidelines. Hohenstein validates performance and safety claims through standard and customized testing and certifications.



“The addition of a respected lab like Hohenstein to the Texbase universe of lab partners is so exciting!” said Marci Yamasaki, Strategic Business Development, Texbase. “The ability for our customers to send and receive testing information with Hohenstein for all aspects of testing is validation of the power of the Texbase system.”

Hohenstein and Texbase will both be exhibiting at the upcoming Outdoor Retailer/Snow Show on January 26-28th.

Textile products made from synthetic fibres, finished fabrics or dyed materials release fibre fragments into the environment at every stage of their life cycle.
