What makes our test locations unique?
Any question we receive from the market is taken up as a unique case, rather than pressed into a standardized process. Based on the information a partner provides on the product they want to test, its development phase, and their perspectives, tailor-made solutions are proposed, be that one specific test, or a stage-by-stage approach, from petri dish to practical implementation. Having said that, what makes our testing facilities unique? · Facilities for trials, storage, processing harvested products, laboratory research, holding meetings, tours, and demonstrations in one place. · Highly motivated and solution-oriented employees with a wealth of practical experience and expertise.
