A New Zealand food testing and biosecurity services company is expanding its horizons as it identifies a growing demand for its services, especially in Asia.
AsureQuality, a state-owned enterprise, has been operating in Australia for some time.
With dairy cooperative Fonterra, it has a 50% shareholding in that country's biggest food testing laboratory.
AsureQuality has also opened a new laboratory in Singapore.
Chief executive Tony Egan, who was part of a recent trade mission to China, says it sees great potential to do business there also.
