We are proud to announce the expansion of our Renault-recognized rubber material testing capabilities to our Guangzhou laboratory – now the only rubber materials laboratory in China offering testing activities aligned with Renault requirements.
For more than 30 years, our rubber materials laboratory in France has worked in close partnership with Renault. Building on this long‑standing foundation, we have extended Renault‑aligned rubber testing capabilities to China, with our French laboratory serving as the technical reference point. The Guangzhou team applies the same validated methodologies, equipment standards and quality controls, ensuring full alignment with Renault’s global requirements.
This capability has been validated through a recent technical audit, which confirmed a high level of consistency between our test results and those generated by Renault’s own laboratory. The audit outcome demonstrates compliance with Renault’s unified global standards for accuracy, reliability and technical credibility.
The Guangzhou laboratory provides a comprehensive portfolio of rubber material testing services, complementing our existing accreditations for plastics, metals, coatings and other automotive materials. Together, these capabilities deliver end-to-end technical support, from raw material screening and formulation optimization to performance validation and environmental compliance, across R&D, validation and mass-production phases. With years of deep engagement in China’s automotive ecosystem, our team has accumulated extensive collaboration experience with leading OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, enabling practical, locally responsive solutions that remain fully aligned with global standards.
By enabling local access to Renault-aligned rubber testing in China, we support shorter development and testing cycles and improved consistency across the automotive supply chain. For suppliers, our Guangzhou laboratory serves as a trusted technical partner, helping to enhance material performance, meet OEM requirements and accelerate project validation within the Chinese automotive market. For Renault, this localized capability strengthens supply chain efficiency while reducing cross-regional testing costs and operational complexity.
