Fats, Oils, Nuts

Thanks to the special expertise we have there, we test samples from all over the world for quality and impurities (legally defined maximum contents, fatty acids, vitamins …). With the connection to the Port of Rotterdam, extremely rapid testing within a few hours is possible for shiploads.
