MIL/DO testing solutions for Teslab, Italy
In the heart of Italy’s military activities, we recently delivered a brand new chamber for Teslab that complies with MIL-STD-461 and DO-160 standards. Why a third chamber? Uliana Trucchi, Senior Technical Consultant at Comtest Engineering, states: “Teslab is a highly successful and fast-growing test facility, founded in Livorno, Tuscany, about thirty years ago by three brilliant men. One of them is Giorgio Romano, my primary contact during this project.

Why should we replace a rooftop logo when the existing one still works? Two weeks ago, this illuminated logo was installed on the roof of our headquarters in Zoeterwoude (NL). Bas de Groot, owner and director of sales and marketing, explains why.
Bas: “Following a strategic repositioning of our brand that began in 2022, we revisited our logo. In 2023, we launched a redesigned logo alongside a fresh corporate identity. We implemented these changes to align our branding with our vision, keeping one thing in mind: details matter. The distinctive ‘M’ in the original logo, which signifies an electromagnetic wave representing our operational field, plays a significant role in our branding and is now more prominent than before. I also perceive a heartbeat in the new logo; for a family business like ours, the human element is just as crucial as the technical one. By the end of 2024, we completed the implementation with the logo displayed on the roof of our building, serving as the cherry on the cake.”
And what do you mean by ‘details matter’?
Bas de Groot: “Having grown up in this company, I learned from my father, Hein de Groot, that attention to detail is vital for successfully managing a business. Our chambers must adhere to stringent standards. For instance, we pay close attention to the aesthetic finishing of our chambers. We finish the edges of bulkhead panels, honeycombs, and doors with black plastic corner profiles cut at 45 degrees instead of straight, which would be easier. Our chambers must perform according to the agreed specifications, but they must also be visually appealing, and our customers deserve nothing less. Few companies operate in this manner, but it distinguishes the good from the great. If I impart this philosophy to clients to our team, they, too, must embody a well-defined brand image at work. Living the brand, as they say.”
What about the client’s brand?
Bas: “We are working on a range of chambers that include the option to be branded in the client’s brand identity. It is still in development, but think of doors and outside walls in a custom colour. Now that we have completed our brand identity, we might as well help our clients with it because details also matter to them!”
