As one of the first MIS customers, Mammut now regularly benefits from MIS’ microbiological testing services. The Swiss innovative leader in mountaineering, outdoor sports, and snow sports was looking for a reliable and fast partner to test the effectiveness of PURE by HeiQ -- an antimicrobial technology -- as basis for their product development decisions. With this innovative, odor-control technology applied to their alpine baselayer collection, they planned to strengthen their competitive edge even more.
Therefore, rapid testing time was essential to be ahead of the market. “Research and product development today must rely not only on scientific accuracy but also on cost effectiveness and speed to market. At MIS we strive to support each one of these expectations”, says member of MIS’ board of directors Prof. Dr. Hendrik Tevaearai. MIS’ growing base of satisfied customers confirms it.
In addition to the easy to understand test reports they appreciate the strong support on the interpretation of test results and guidance on the significance for further product development. Michael Gyssler, Mammut’s Chief Marketing Officer says, “At Mammut, not just the reliable and quick testing services of MIS are important to us, we trust specifically in their support beyond the supply of results. Their thorough interpretation of the results and recommendation provides a solid basis for taking our product development decisions.”
