Spanning 850 m², the new facility is strategically located near the key southern ports of Paranaguá, São Francisco do Sul, and Imbituba, as well as Curitiba International Airport. This prime position ensures efficient connectivity to Brazil’s major agricultural export routes and supports rapid logistics coordination for sample collection and delivery nationwide.

Equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation, the laboratory features advanced technologies such as liquid and gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, optical emission spectrometry, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and digital PCR. These cutting-edge tools enable high-precision analysis across a broad range of applications — from pesticide residues, mycotoxins, and heavy metals to genetic and molecular testing for transgenics and biological contaminants.

Staffed by a team of more than 20 analysts and specialists operating 24/7, the Curitiba laboratory embodies AmSpec’s commitment to quality, reliability, and sustainability. The facility is designed to meet growing client demand for specialized analyses in agricultural, feed, and food products, with a focus on speed, precision, and analytical depth.

“The opening of our Curitiba laboratory represents a major milestone in AmSpec’s commitment to supporting our clients at every stage of the agri-food supply chain,” said Valentin Rossel, Executive Vice President, Agri & Food Division. “As global demand for precision testing and transparent certification continues to grow, this investment underscores our dedication to providing world-class quality and service closer to our clients in Latin America.”

“We are proud to expand AmSpec’s presence in Brazil with this advanced facility,” added Manoel Araujo, Regional Director, Latin America. “Curitiba’s strategic location strengthens our ability to partner with producers, exporters, and traders, while reinforcing our promise of technical excellence and operational efficiency across the region.”

With this new laboratory, AmSpec continues to build on its global network of facilities, supporting the agricultural and food sectors with end-to-end expertise in inspection, analysis, and certification — ensuring that clients meet the highest international standards of quality, safety, and compliance.
