Welcome to the Eurofins ECCA family

Eurofins ECCA is a family business “pur-sang”. Founded in 1980 by father Dr. Frank Benijts in Zwijnaarde. Today the company is managed  by children Tom and Eva from Merelbeke. The philosophy has always remained the same: we guarantee the quality, safety and health of humans, animals, and the environment by advising companies and organisations in the field of science and legislation.

Analyses of scientific excellence

You expect certainty from a lab. The staff of Eurofins ECCA therefore strive for the highest scientific level. We do this by:

  • Developing a broad and deep knowledge: within our specialisations we offer all possible analyses.
  • Active cooperation with knowledge centres (universities, research institutes, etc.).
  • Continuously developing and validating new test methods within our R&D department, in function of changing legislation or new needs

Problem solving

Eurofins ECCA is more than a lab. We do not just communicate your analysis results to you. As active problem solvers, we look for a tailor-made solution at every step:

  • We interpret the analysis results and link up advice with them.
  • We maintain a good relationship with the responsible authorities.
  • We think along with you about the organisation of your production process.

Mission & vision

Mission: To contribute to global health and (food and water) safety by providing our customers with high-quality laboratory and advisory services. Additionally, we aim to create opportunities for our employees and generate sustainable returns for our shareholders.

 

Vision: In the coming years, Eurofins Food, Feed, Water Benelux will shift from a data provider to a knowledge partner in the food and water chain of our customers. We ensure the quality and safety of food and water across the Benelux and provide product-level quality assurance. This positions us as a reliable partner in the production processes of our customers.

 

Important for Eurofins Ecca Food Testing customers

Relocation of the microbiological food testing laboratory to Nazareth
At the end of February, the microbiological laboratory of our food division in Merelbeke will move to our Eurofins site in Nazareth.
This allows us to centralize our activities in one location and further strengthen our services.

What will change?

  • No analyses will be started on 26 and 27 February. Only strictly urgent samples will be handled via an emergency procedure, which can be requested here until 23/02.

  • No registrations in Qlab on 26 and 27 February. After that, Qlab can be used again as usual.

  • Delivery of all food samples from 2 March onwards at the following address: Venecoweg 5, 9810 Nazareth.

  • Temporary impact on accreditation and reporting: some methods will temporarily not be performed under accreditation. Where necessary, we will automatically provide an accredited alternative, which may cause a slight delay.

  • New email address for collections and sampling: logistics-food-be@ftbnl.eurofins.com

Thank you for your trust and cooperation during this relocation.
