AGROLAB News

The AGROLAB GROUP is extending its laboratory space in Kiel by an additional 2,500 m² to reach a total of 9,000 m². This means that Kiel is to become home to one of the biggest laboratory complexes in Germany. In this context, a separate branch for environmental analysis is also to open in addition to the LUFA-ITL in Suchsdorf, Kiel.

The accompanying reorganisation which is taking place is set to offer additional flexibility and a superior orientation towards the requirements of the market for the future.

Reorganisation of the areas of agriculture, environment, animal feed and foodstuffs

Over the last 5 years, LUFA-ITL has achieved a very welcome growth rate of almost 50%. With the size that it has achieved, the company is stepping over a new organisational threshold. To maintain its path towards further growth with high efficiency and the optimum customer-orientation, the decision has been taken to separate the area bio matrix (food and feed) from agricultural and environmental.

The environmental analytics includes drinking, ground and waste water, sludge as well as contaminated and recyled material.

The whole of the environmental division is to be relocated to new accommodation at the same locality, but separated from LUFA-ITL at the organisational level and organised under a new name at the branch operation AGROLAB Agrar und Umwelt GmbH in Kiel.

It is likely that the move to the new accommodation on Dr.-Hell-Straße 6 (hall 17/3) in the industrial park will take place in early April.

ISO 17025:2005 accreditation et notifications

In the course of the changes to the company, the accreditation and all notifications of the environmental analysis department of LUFA-ITL have been transferred to the new environmental laboratory. On this basis, the analysis work can be continued in the usual way on the basis of the accredited methods and authorisations.

Same point of contact – new DBA name

For our customers, the only thing to change is the DBA name of the laboratory. All of the employees and environmental divisions will remain unchanged, and will continue to be available as your familiar points of contact with the same contact details.
