ITB "MORATEX" conducts scientific research and development works as well as implementation works in the discipline of materials engineering, the effects of which are applied in the area of state security.  

ITB "MORATEX" shapes its strategic objectives in relation to the environment of the Institute, including directly to the assumptions of the scientific policy of the State, expressed, m.in. in national and European legal acts and strategic documents concerning research and development as well as innovation and horizontal development policies.

Scientific research and development work shall be supported by:

• accredited testing laboratories;
• standardization;
• certification;
• R&D project realization
• Commercialization of the R&D project effects.

The required level of scientific research, development work as well as commercialization and implementation works is, m.in the result of ISO 9001 introduced in 2001 at the Institute of Quality Management System. This system operates in the entire area of the Institute's activity and is successively updated and improved in terms of achieving the required quality of activities and customer satisfaction.

ITB "Moratex" has three research laboratories: the Laboratory of Meteorological Research, the Laboratory of Laboratory Ballistic Research,  the  Laboratory of Chemical testing meeting the requirements of the PN-EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018-02 standard  and the Certification Unit meeting the requirements  of PN-EN ISO/IEC 17065:2013-03 –  accredited by the PCA and the Ministry of National Defence. MORATEX performs the verification of the textile and clothing, composites, technologies and other products used in the security area. 

The Director of the ITB "MORATEX" Institute was indicated as the body exercising supervision on behalf of the Minister over activities related to the product put into use in the cells and organizational units of the Ministry.

The Institute is a founding member of two Science and Industrial Centres and a Science Centre.

The Institute employs a qualified team of specialists from various fields of knowledge and scientific disciplines. These are scientific, research and technical, engineering and technical, administrative and economic employees and people in the positions of technical service employees.
