Arash Eskandari and Monika Oeters join the team of experts at Intertek

Bremen - Intertek, a leading provider of quality and safety solutions around the world, has strengthened its Food Services Customer Services team with the addition of Arash Eskandari and Monika Oeters. The organisation's expert Food Services team specialise in food analysis, certification and auditing, for the entire length of the supply chain, from raw materials through production and retail to consumers.

Public discussion has shown that control mechanisms that should guarantee the safety of food require continuous improvement. As a company that uses the latest methods and technology, and continually works to further its knowledge and technical capabilities, Intertek Food Services has accepted the challenge to make an important contribution to increase the safety of food, not least of all through their integrated provision of services.

Dr Kurt-Peter Raezke, Senior Director for Food Safety, commented: "The arrival of Arash and Monika means that a wealth of experience will be brought from the food services industry, which will enable Intertek to offer an even greater depth of custom solutions, as part of our integrated service department. We welcome both Arash and Monika to the team and look forward to seeing this enhancement to our service offering and the resulting benefits to our customers."

Arash Eskandari will take on the role of Global Project Manager to further develop Intertek's global food chain management system. He brings with him a wealth of international experience in the nutritional supplements and packaging industry, complemented by his years in supplier management for the automotive industry. His expertise in the field of business systems analysis has led to the successful completion of several complex Six Sigma projects and essential collaboration with the original equipment.

Monika Oeters brings with her a wealth of experience as a laboratory manager and food chemist in her new role as Food Supply Chain Manager for Intertek.
