Investing in new Weatherometer In step with the constantly growing demand for UV testing, we have now invested a significant sum in another Weatherometer – the second such machine we have purchased in two years. Testing involving this equipment is intended to check how well materials cope with UV radiation like that generated by the rays of the sun. The new equipment was ready for use in early June 2018.

Predire establishes operations in Shanghai, China Predire was founded in Svängsta, Sweden, in 1995, since when we have progressively expanded our operations to both Gothenburg in Sweden, and to Germany. In 2013, we took a huge leap when we established a new test centre in Shanghai. Our Chinese test centre now features three large chambers in the main hall, one of which is large enough to hold a complete vehicle. Here, we can simulate natural conditions from pretty much all parts of the globe – including the ageing of mechanical parts, car panels and installations. We do this to check [...]

Unique sun simulation in Gothenburg In the beginning of April we made a significant investment in the equipment at our plant in Gothenburg, when we installed out sun simulator. This is a full-vehicle machine, making it one of a kind. The reason why we made this investment was to allow us to simulate the hottest and toughest climate conditions on the planet. The test rig was ready for commissioning on 1 April 2017.
