“Our fully accredited Nelson-based laboratories have provided testing services to Aotearoa New Zealand’s food and natural products sector for over 40 years and we’re really proud of our continued growth.

A Cawthron laboratory in Auckland will provide our North Island customers reassurance that we can meet their tight turnaround times for export and food safety requirements, helping them to get their product to market faster.”
