OrthoLite achieves Gold Laboratory Accreditation

The company is the first (and to date the only) facility in India to receive this high-level distinction.

Comfort-driven footwear solutions provider OrthoLite has achieved ‘Gold Laboratory Accreditation’ from SATRA for its in-house testing laboratory at the OrthoLite India factory in Ambur, Tamil Nadu. It is the first – and to date the only – facility located in India which has received this high-level distinction.

“Achieving SATRA Gold Laboratory status underscores our commitment to precision, accountability and world-class testing standards,” said Glenn Barrett, chief executive of OrthoLite. “Our brand partners rely on verified performance data to make critical product decisions. This accreditation confirms that the data we provide meets rigorous standards for accuracy and transparency.”

Gold status represents full compliance across all audit criteria, reflecting the highest level of operational and technical performance within SATRA’s accreditation framework. The OrthoLite India facility achieved 100 per cent during a recent laboratory audit to SATRA QS1000:2024, carried out by SATRA’s Quality Services division.

“As footwear construction evolves with increasing demands for comfort, durability, sustainability and performance validation, robust laboratory capability has become a strategic differentiator for brands and manufacturers,” commented Vikash Bajargyan, country general manager for OrthoLite India. “Achieving Gold Laboratory Status is proof of our commitment to quantifiable performance.”
