Inolex has increased its lab capabilities and personnel in Guangzhou, China. The location is developing as a Center of Excellence and is a key market for Inolex’s growth particularly in alternative preservation solutions and natural, innovative ingredients for the beauty and personal care industry.
A full-scale microbiology laboratory has been established in Guangzhou to complement the company’s existing commercial and technical centre. This new lab will provide services for challenge tests and MIC tests for internal and external projects related to formulations containing alternative preservation systems. In support of these operations, the team in Guangzhou has added several new employees.
