Intertek widens its relationship with Sabic

Geleen, Netherlands – Intertek, a leading provider of quality and safety solutions serving a wide range of industries around the world; has extended its long term relationship with SABIC in Geleen, one of the world’s largest petrochemicals manufacturers.
The contract extension positions Intertek as a strategic supplier of testing, inspection, and analytical laboratory services to SABIC.
Intertek has provided pilot plant testing and related services support to SABIC since many years at Geleen, in the Netherlands which is a key petrochemical hub and home to SABIC’s European plastics production. Since then Intertek has extended its support to SABIC with support across a wider range of products and locations.

We are proud to help support SABIC in their ongoing commitment to quality, technology and innovation and to safety and the environment.”
