New fire testing lab under construction
Cable and pipe transit manufacturer Roxtec which is growing in several different industries, including cruise, is building a new fire test lab in Karlskrona, Sweden. It will be ready in 2018.

The Roxtec sealing system is used in over 80 markets to protect life and secure operations in a range of sectors including shipbuilding and construction to renewable energy to protect against multiple risk factors, including fire.

‘We see a lot of opportunities for our cable and pipe transits,’ says ceo Mikael Helmerson.

‘We are growing in many sectors at the same time and keep on adding safety solutions for use in new applications. This intensive development means we are performing more fire protection tests than ever before. With the new fire lab, we will increase our capacity and prepare ourselves for further growth.’

The 540sq mtr two-floor fire lab will be built at the Roxtec global headquarters close to the material test lab and the product development and production facilities.
