InKemia acquires Aslab, laboratory specializing in food
This strategic acquisition will boost InKemia’s international expansion in South America
Catalan biotechnology group Inkemia IUCT Group has purchased Laboratori d’Anàlisis i Assessoria (Aslab), which specializes in the food sector. This acquisition has come about under the framework of the company’s expansion plan, presented in its latest capital increases.
Through this transaction, InKemia is acquiring expertise in the fields of food and nutraceutics, as well as knowledge on functional foods and dietary supplements. These are key fields to fuel its growth in South America, as they are strategic industrial sectors in both Brazil and Colombia, where InKemia is establishing subsidiaries.
Aslab was founded in 2006 and is based in Vilanova i la Geltrú. The laboratory also offers consultancy services (to implement national or international standards regarding food, quality and the environment) and training (specifically focused on the needs of the food industry and restaurants).
