Explore how Pira Testing supports the
Packaging Supply Chain

Since the foundation of Pira in 1930 we have built up a broad range testing and technical consulting services in chemical and physical testing, relating to food contact, packaging, printing and paper. However, we are not standing still and are currently expanding into testing of electronic identification and security devices, as well as environmental testing (physical and climatic testing of unpacked products).

We offer the skills and knowledge of our consultants, who have many years of experience helping our customers by defining effective work programmes, obtaining the right information and providing interpretation to deliver solutions that offer real value.
