Food testing company looks to Asia

6:33 am on 27 April 2010

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.
