With the continued global challenge of Covid-19 and the reality of lockdowns on national and local levels, it’s clear that many businesses face a difficult year.

Long term supplier viability is a question on many lips so reassurance and confidence in the stability of your key industry partners is paramount. On behalf of Tecniplast, we can categorically provide that reassurance and confidence that continued and new relationships will flourish and provide you with peace of mind.

We are your ideal partner; we are a financially secure and well-run business with a long and illustrious history.

Indeed, we remain a fully operational and functioning business and we can organize factory tours today, and in the future respecting all recommendations of local and national law, protecting our visitors and our workers.

We are global leaders in supporting animal-based research and have been for over 70 years. We believe we are an honest, respected, and trusted partner who does not cut corners.

We provide high levels of product, solutions, and support. We are, probably the only company to be ISO 14001:2015 and 9001:2015 certified for the following activities: Eco Design, manufacturing, and service of laboratory animal equipment.

We follow the ‘Tecniplast Way’ upholding tradition and quality. This sits easily alongside being highly innovative and cutting edge.

Research is growing and people will demand more and more development and investment in the short term, not just throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, but also in cancer research, Parkinson's, Epilepsy and all other areas of health and wellbeing.

Great support will be needed; at Tecniplast this is what we do.

As part of our commitment to you we will ensure the welfare and due care for your animals remains uppermost in our minds.
