We use strict scientific testing, real-world trials, and independent checks from yarn to finished product.
The result: If we can't test, trace, and prove it, we don't ship it.
At Simba, quality is never assumed. It is engineered, verified and scientifically proven.
Our approach to quality assurance combines deep technical expertise with progressive research, trusted partnerships and a commitment to solving the real challenges facing the textile industry, today and into the future.
Quality starts in the Simba Lab, and extends through the full product lifecycle.
Simba's Lab and technical teams bring more than 200 years of combined textile experience, giving us unmatched insight into how products perform in real operating environments. Our testing protocols go beyond compliance, focusing on durability, performance, safety and longevity across repeated use.
This expertise is led by Hiten Somaia, widely regarded as one of the industry's most respected textile authorities. Under his leadership, the Simba Lab team combines practical experience with academic rigour, including PhD and Masters-qualified specialists, all focused on one goal: "Better Together"
We focus on the delivery of reduced water usage through the washing process, longer product life and predictable performance.
We strive to ensure consistency in appearance, feel and durability.
The LAB is dialled in to support comfort, safety and reliability in high-use, regulated environments.
It's simple. Our aim is to guarantee quality consistency and customer confidence at scale.
Designed for adaptation to harsh conditions.
Transparency strengthens trust, and accountability drives improvement.
Simba maintains traceability across the production and testing process, enabling us to verify quality, monitor performance and continuously refine specifications. Every insight gathered feeds back into product development, supplier engagement and material selection.
Trust is earned through action, and through leadership.
Simba actively partners with research institutions and industry leaders to address the biggest challenges facing textiles today.
Our partnership with Deakin University focuses on reducing microplastics, improving material performance while minimising environmental impact.
Our reach also extends to the ability to conduct laboratory testing with colleagues at Oxford University.
We have also made a recent investment with City Oil Fields to progress viable solutions to one of the industry's most complex challenges: end-of-life outcomes for textile products. This work supports our Simba Conscious commitment, with a clear target that 80% of all Simba products will have an end-of-life solution.
