INCOTEC receives ESTA certification

Date:09-27-2013

As one of the first companies to merit the status, INCOTEC Europe is now an ESTA-certificated treatment facility and proud to carry the ESTA (European Seed Treatment Assurance) logo on a number of products. This certification is assurance for all parties that INCOTEC’s application methods are secure and seeds treated by INCOTEC meet all quality requirements.

This development follows a recent audit carried out by the independent certification organization MPS-ECAS. INCOTEC passed the audit with flying colors!

ESTA is the European quality assurance scheme for the application of plant protection products to seed (seed treatment) and the handling and use of such treated seed. This scheme was set up by the European Seed Association (ESA) to ensure that application methods used to treat seeds with plant protection products (PPPs) are carried out with extreme care and will comply with demands met by the European market.

JanWillem Breukink, President & CEO INCOTEC Group: “We believe that the ESTA quality assurance scheme is very important for our industry in Europe where highly professional companies, like INCOTEC, act on their responsibility to customers, to growers and to the authorities in assuring that we treat seeds using stringent quality control measurements and with the utmost care suiting the standards set in the market.”
