Crash-Lab Alliance: Four Industry Leaders. One Solution.

Crash systems | October 13, 2026

With the new Crash-Lab Alliance, we are joining forces with Seattle Safety, Kistler, and Photron to deliver fully integrated, turnkey crash test facilities worldwide – combining best-in-class technology from four specialist domains.

As the specialist behind the mechanical core, we bring our expertise in mobile crash blocks, mobile and fixed barriers, rollover rigs, and flying-floor systems to the partnership.

Together with our partners, we integrate these technologies with crash propulsion and sled systems, measurement and data acquisition technology, as well as high-speed imaging solutions to create one coordinated facility.

Our joint project for VinFast in Vietnam demonstrates the success of this approach: From kick-off to first acceptance crash in just twelve months.
