UK-based toxicology consultant company Delphic HSE Solutions Ltd announced today (July 16) that the company has opened a regional office in Hong Kong, which will help it enter the Asian certification market.
Delphic HSE Solutions Ltd is a leader in the field of toxicity testing, offering consultancy and risk assessment services for a wide array of multinationals in businesses ranging from soft drinks to health care, toys and cosmetics, plus other household and industrial products. It has a team of experts qualified with organisations including EuroTox, the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Society of Biology, the Society of Cosmetic Scientists and the British Toxicology Society.
The CEO of Delphic HSE Solutions (HK) Ltd, Mr Cliff Betton, said that Hong Kong's role as the premium certification centre in Asia and the large number of consumer product brands anchored in the city drove the decision to set up a regional office.
"Hong Kong attracts a very wide range of global brands and these brands require qualified testing to build up customer confidence. This is a good niche for our company to enter, and we are delighted to come to Hong Kong and offer international standard certification options for companies who want to improve their product quality and reputation," Mr Betton said.
"We also have very strong experience in some European product standards, so for companies which are planning to enter European markets, we offer good leverage on product testing," he added.
Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion Mr Charles Ng said that Delphic HSE Solutions (HK) Ltd will add to Hong Kong's role as a certification centre in Asia. He said, "Testing and certification is a pillar industry with growth potential in Hong Kong. I believe that our city offers Delphic HSE ample business opportunities, and the company, with its leading edge in the testing field, will enhance Hong Kong's role as a regional testing and certification hub."
