Material Testing Equipment Manufacturer

For more than a century, Thwing-Albert Instrument Company has designed and manufactured testing machines for measuring the physical properties of a range of materials, such as adhesives, paper, paper tissue, packaging, plastics, nonwovens, textiles and foils. Research laboratories, quality control departments and academia worldwide have come to rely on our testing instrumentation to accurately measure key physical attributes, such as tensile and elongation, coefficient of friction (COF), tear resistance, puncture resistance, adhesion strength, thickness, compressive resistance, compressibility, flexural strength and the like.

Thwing-Albert partners with the manufacturers and converters of materials to provide quality testing equipment to meet routine and custom testing protocols. When laboratories and production lines have access to our equipment, they can effectively evaluate the materials that are used in everyday products. The data provided by our instrumentation provides organizations with the information they need to improve and maintain the quality of their products.

While material quality is essential to the consumer experience, it’s also vital for meeting quality standards such as ISO, ASTM and TAPPI. Thwing-Albert manufactures these testing machines to meet product specifications and comply with quality standards before sending products to market. Our testing machines are also essential in research and development (R&D) for introducing new materials and meeting sustainability goals.
