P&G appoints Neal Reed as Senior VP and MD of P&G Australia, New Zealand
Expands research and quality capabilities with new North America microbiology laboratory
ADM has announced the opening of its new North America Microbiology Laboratory at the ADM Specialty Manufacturing Facility in Decatur, Ill. The new facility doubles ADM’s current microbiology laboratory footprint and reflects a significant expansion of its testing capabilities, as well as its footprint in the Decatur community.
The new facility will provide testing services to more than 26 ADM manufacturing facilities located throughout North America. It features state-of-the-art technology providing access to the latest lab and testing innovation as well as the ability to process an exponentially higher volume of tests. The new lab will also allow the company to conduct advanced testing in-house such as kill-step validations for processing plants, including automation applications.
In addition, the laboratory will become ISO 17025 accredited for the top five quality testing methods in early 2023 and will continue to expand its certification for other methods. A laboratory information management system will also be implemented at the new location in late 2023, allowing faster reporting to ADM clients.
Lee Perry, vice president, Quality and Food Safety at ADM said, “The development of this state-of-the-art laboratory directly aligns with our mission and vision to strive for operational excellence, partner with operations to provide testing solutions and drive analytical performance.”
