BK-LAB: Innovation Hub
Gruppo Biokimica has integrated an instrumental core into its chemical laboratory to provide analytical support for the Research and Development projects of its clients.
The BK-Lab is designed to provide customers with a 360° service, starting from the supply of chemical products, continuing with application consulting, and concluding with the physico-chemical analysis of the produced leather.
The tannery that chooses Gruppo Biokimica opts for an accurate production and analytical system for the chemical-physical evaluation of its leathers.
