Merieux NutriSciences inaugurates new facilities in Beijing

Merieux NutriSciences announced the grand opening of its new state-of-the-art facilities in Beijing, China. These new facilities allow Merieux NutriSciences better meet the clients’ expectations on a constantly and rapidly growing market. James Chen, Managing Director of Merieux NutriSciences in China, officially opened the laboratory on February 26.

Following its recent acquisition in China (Sino Analytica in Ningbo and Qingdao), Merieux NutriSciences inaugurates a new lab in Beijing to reinforce its footprint in China. Built to support global food safety and quality challenges, the new lab provides outstanding microbiology capabilities. The lab will also benefit from cutting edge equipment operated by highly qualified experts as well as an integrated and unique Quality Systems Program, which is standard across the Merieux NutriSciences global network.

Mérieux NutriSciences is present in China through its laboratories in Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao and Beijing providing food testing services as well as inspection, auditing and training services.

“This new lab in China allows the company to better serve the Chinese market which presents a high growth potential. It is also the opportunity to upgrade our premises and our solutions to always improve food safety and public health worldwide”, said Philippe Sans, President and CEO of Mérieux NutriSciences.

This new investment by Mérieux NutriSciences’ Chinese subsidiary provides a high commitment to support the world’s largest consumer market for food and beverages.
