Travelling through amazing Brazil

Intertek CEO André Lacroix recently visited Brazil, a vibrant, diverse and economically dynamic country with incredible potential – now and in the future. Brazil is the largest country in Latin America, and one of the fastest growing economies in the world.

Intertek is well positioned to take advantage of Brazil’s exciting growth, and our businesses there are going from strength to strength. We particularly proud of the investments we have made in JLA, entering the fast growing food testing sector and, more recently, Controle Analítico which broadened our service offering in the Environmental testing market.

By working every day to deliver our Science-based Customer Excellence, our colleagues in Brazil are helping to make  the world a better and safer place.

Did you know that:

  • Brazil is one of the world’s leading exporters of food? Over the last 30 years, Intertek Technical Centre of Analysis has been a strategic testing partner to our clients across the country.
  • Only 3% of water on the planet is safe for humans to use and consume? Intertek offers extensive testing for drinking water to ensure it meets standards set by environmental legislation.
  • Intertek Brazil tests and analyses pesticides in baby food to help our clients protect the health and developing immune systems of the youngest babies.

During his visit, Andre also took time to meet some of our amazing colleagues, recognizing their long careers at Intertek as part of the Intertek 2023 AAA Awards. The people recognised included; Danielle Cecilia Campones, Allan Lourenço da Silva, Edcarmo Dos Santos Madureira, Jessica Alves da Silva, Jessica Calixto Lima da Silva, Ligi Cristina dos Santos Negrao, Marcel Marchiori de Sena, Ricardo Costa, Rodolfo Omete Ferreira, Stephane Franco, Paulo de Tarso Camacho Nalini, Nelson Pereira Lima Junior, Ranio Cesar de Andrade Fernandes, Rene de Castro Fragosa, Alexandre Aparecido Pirone, Devanei Pereira da Silva, and Waldenir Soares Neves.

André would like to thank our passionate and incredible colleagues in Brazil. They are the shining light of the TQA industry, and make all of us at Intertek very proud.
