The 200 employees have now relocated to spacious 4,500 square metered premises, comprising testing and office areas, and which have been organised in a view to maximise operational efficiencies and communication flows. The new laboratory, located only six kilometres away from the Ataturk airport, offers a larger and more comfortable seminar room, providing clients with an enhanced training environment.

BVCPS Turkey has been serving the needs of manufacturers, retailers and exporters of textiles, footwear and hard goods since 2003, providing a large scope of physical and analytical testing and expertise under one roof. The TURKAK accredited laboratory continues to expand its capabilities and the larger location will enable the business to pursue its growth ambition.

We want to ensure we always provide our employees with a safe, pleasant and sustainable working environment.
