Oct. 15 2024

We’re thrilled to inform you Mérieux NutriSciences are engaged in advanced discussions with AsureQuality regarding partnership in our joint venture businesses in Southeast Asia and Australia, following the exit of Bureau Veritas from the global food testing services market. 

On Monday, 7th October 2024, Bureau Veritas announced it had entered into an exclusive agreement with Mérieux NutriSciences to sell its global food testing business, including its share in the BVAQ joint venture with AsureQuality.

Our collaboration with Bureau Veritas over the last eight years has been very successful, and the BVAQ businesses in Southeast Asia and Australia are performing well and favourably positioned for the future. We remain strategically aligned with AsureQuality in supporting our customers in these significant markets, and ensuring we keep up to date with market trends, insights and innovation.  


Mérieux NutriSciences is a global leader in food safety, quality and sustainability. They offer complimentary expertise and an international presence that would enable the joint venture to strengthen their service offerings and support to your business.


Please be assured that these changes will not result in any disruption to customer service – you can expect business as usual throughout the transition.
