An important milestone
Since 2006, GALAB has established itself as a major player in the field of pesticide analysis with the introduction of the innovative GALAB pesticide 500plus® multi-method. This measurement technique marks a decisive milestone for GALAB.
Today, the company’s expertise is indispensable in various aspects of consumer products. These include a wide range of consumer goods such as diapers, hygiene products, toys, clothing, packaging and, in particular, food products such as organic products and baby food.
The rapidly expanding market for organic products comes with high expectations for compliance and monitoring. GALAB places great emphasis on this aspect and has implemented a world-leading standard in analysis.
