Gore adapts to pandemic with virtual lab tours
Technical textiles maker WL Gore & Associates has ‘virtually’ opened its testing labs, offering a year-round 360° view of facilities in the US and Germany, enabling visitors to learn more about its test methods.

The virtual experience consists of 18 lab rooms and 89 highlighted test apparatus spanning from waterproofness and breathability to abrasion resistance and comfort science test methods. 

Visitors can take a digital tour through the durability testing and analysis lab, as well as the footwear, gloves and textile labs and garment centre. 

Nicolaus Kirchdorfer, global marketing leader, said: “We’re excited to educate customers and retailers about how we test Gore-Tex products. Typically, we bring them to our labs in the US and Germany and give them a guided tour. Due to the pandemic situation, physical access to our labs is restricted and so we wanted to bring the labs to our guests virtually.”

The virtual labs are accessible through the Gore-Tex website.
