Laboratory
Iran Delco Co. Research Laboratory is the first laboratory in the country was established in 2008 for automotive catalysts along the line of automotive catalysts, with the latest equipment and laboratory apparatus and the use of latest testing methods in order to enhance the technical knowledge of Catalyst.
All laboratory tests to characterize the physical, chemical and catalytic activity in various conditions are carried out in this laboratory.
Iran Delco laboratory intends to enhance the scope of research and catalytic activities with upgrade of its laboratory equipment and facilities. Not only, as of today providing quality service to the production line and R&D department of Iran Delco, and it had an important role in altering company to the only domestic manufacturer in the country and the largest supplier of automotive catalysts, but also, providing reliable services to universities and research centers, to develop and improve Catalysts knowledge in country.
