Industrial and construction group "Kovalska" updated the equipment of its own Innovation and Technology Center Kovalska Lab, investing UAH 6.6 million of its own and international grant funds in the first stage of modernization, its press service said.
"The first to be modernized was the laboratory for incoming raw material control: a comprehensive repair was carried out, modern equipment was purchased and the space was redeveloped, dismantling the old foundations. We also purchased the latest laboratory equipment from leading European manufacturers: German Testing, Italian Controls and Matest," Kovalska Lab Director Viktoria Spivak said.
It is noted that the new equipment will allow expanding the range of testing capabilities of the laboratory in accordance with European requirements, as well as increasing the productivity of work and the accuracy of the results obtained, since all devices operate in automatic mode.
