Phytocontrol’s greetings for 2019
We had an exciting and rich year, with strong technological and human investments in a context of strong and well-managed growth.
2019 promises to be a year of challenges in terms of performance, sustainable development, eco-technological innovations as well as the fulfilment of our commitments. I am dedicate, with all Phytocontrol teams, to providing you with the most reliable and innovative solutions to guarantee you tomorrow the best European expertise in the service of authenticity and food and water safety.
What brings Phytocontrol to life and unites us: proximity, responsiveness and expertise; committed and dynamic men and women who work every day to improve the service we provide you.
This year, we will strengthen our territorial network in France and abroad, we will expand new local laboratories, building on the success of Phytocontrol Proxilab Bretagne, we will continue our investments in innovation in particular, to ensure you a perfect control of turnaround times; our logistics force will be increased and our teams in structured agencies, for more availability and reactivity.
The future analyses that we will propose to you in 2019 will cover in particular the problem of food fraud, with new NGS and NMR solutions for the authentication of animal and plant species. We will continue to develop our antibiotic screenings, launch the measurement of radioactivity in water and food, finalise the development of nanoparticle analyses, and of course, we will refine our contaminants expertise even further, with pesticide screenings on complex products, the development of innovative methods for the integration of metabolites, or the deployment of our microbiology offer in regions that we continue to support and will complement with rapid qualitative analysis by Maldi Tof.
All these challenges are made possible with the help of our R&D team, nearly 40 employees this year, dedicated to the development of innovative methods, and guaranteeing the reliability of the analyses we offer you, in water and food.
You who trust us on a daily basis, you are the first actors in the development of Phytocontrol, a development at your service in complete independence, for which we are proud to respect our commitments, to meet your requirements and your expectations; it is our driving force.
Thanks to you, Phytocontrol now has more than 250 employees in France and Europe.
All the teams at the Nîmes central laboratory and your regional office join me in thanking you and wishing you a beautiful year 2019 of peace and quiet interspersed with unexpected and positive changes.

President Phytocontrol Group
