We proudly announce the opening of our expansive new microbiology laboratory in Claremont, Cape Town, marking a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to advancing food safety and quality testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a laboratory footprint spanning an impressive 1300 m2<\/sup><\/strong>, which together with the supporting admin functions totals 2400 m2<\/sup>, this cutting-edge facility represents substantial growth from its previous 650 m2<\/sup> footprint, solidifying our position as one of the largest microbiology testing facilities in South Africa<\/strong>. The size of the facility, staffed by 50 qualified Microbiologists, uniquely positions the Cape Town laboratory to handle very large sample volumes while delivering the highest quality results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The facility boasts unique capabilities, including industry-leading testing turnaround times and the expertise to conduct large format testing on 375ml sample sizes for specified matrices. In response to escalating market demands, the expansion has resulted in a remarkable 100% increase in testing capacity, dedicated to processing samples for both Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis. The sample receival department has also been expanded to streamline the screening and verification of samples and documentation before they are logged and processed. This optimization not only enhances productivity but upholds the highest quality standards in the food industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incorporating advanced features such as centralized climate control and a highly energy-efficient lighting technology system, not only reduces electrical consumption but also reinforces our commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals related to climate change. We are dedicated to making progress towards a BETTER WORLD<\/strong> through sustainable practices.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The building was inaugurated on 23 November 2023 by Nicolas Cartier (CEO) and Franck Capdevielle (VP MEA ASPAC & Corporate Development) both joining the occasion from the M\u00e9rieux NutriSciences Global office based in Tassin-la-Demi-Lune, France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
