‘SDC Enterprises introduces innovation to counter imitation products’

SDC Enterprises, UK, Bradford based manufacturer of the highest quality test materials, is introducing a security thread woven into the selvedge of its world leading Multifibre DW Adjacent Fabric in a bid to protect customer and consumer interest.

Retail brands worldwide are familiar with the threat of inferior quality goods being passed off to consumers as something they are not. Similarly test consumables not of the highest quality can lead to customer rejection, retailer claims and loss of future business.

Following extensive research and testing of potential security features, SDC Enterprises has selected a thread that includes visible SDC logos for identification and micro characters for security. Detailed testing at a number of internationally accredited independent laboratories has demonstrated the durability of design and ensures that the thread has no impact on test results.

Mr Mark Yare (managing director, SDC Enterprises) comments, “As each piece of multifibre used for testing continues to be clearly identified as SDC, testers are able to demonstrate their use of the highest quality material to both accreditors and those commissioning the tests”. In combination with clearly branded packaging and certificates of conformity, SDC Multifibre can be identified throughout its extensive supply chain, right up to and including the final test report.

SDC Enterprises will introduce the security thread into its weaving production shortly and it will be available to users before the end of 2005. The certificate of conformity, available free of charge, will clearly identify batches of Multifibre which contain the security thread.
