Hygiene solutions company Hygiena has launched a new branch in Australia, signalling the company’s reinforced dedication to a wide range of markets, predominantly in the food and beverage industry in Australia, New Zealand and the broader Southeast Asian region.

The new Sydney location includes a warehouse and is part of Hygiena's strategy to be at the frontline of service delivery in the region.

Hygiena CEO Steve Nason said that the diverse food safety testing spectrum in Australia and New Zealand encompassed environmental monitoring, allergen and pathogen detection, GMO detection, nutritional labelling, and more.

“Our continuously evolving portfolio, which offers sample collection and handling, ATP, Lateral Flow, PCR, and ELISA assays, paired with sophisticated data analysis software, is primed to address the multifaceted testing demands of the animal health, food and beverage safety sectors.

“Our global growth strategy is rooted in delivering top-tier, pioneering diagnostics. This new venture in Australasia underpins our vision of fostering healthier global communities and stimulating local economic growth,” said Nason.

Local clients can now benefit from direct ordering via Hygiena Australia, ensuring unparalleled technical support, superior customer service, and a bespoke product range tailored to their needs.

The Sydney branch will extend the complete spectrum of the company's offerings, inclusive of allergen testing, environmental monitoring, product quality solutions, molecular testing solutions and mycotoxin testing.

“Our Sydney office is central to our quest of fostering genuine, direct relationships with our clientele, delivering unparalleled value and support. It also seamlessly integrates into our One Health Diagnostics ethos, allowing food clients a one-stop solution for both food and veterinary diagnostic needs,” said Nason.
