QualiBet Testing Services Corporation, led by chemist Pinky Pe Tobiano, has made history by entering into an acquisition agreement with Bureau Veritas Assurance Quality (BVAQ), a global leader in quality testing and certification. This achievement not only marks a first for the Philippines but for a Filipina chemist as well.
Prior to the acquisition, QualiBet had already established itself as an expert in chemical and microbiology testing of food, water, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and more. With BVAQ’s support, QualiBet’s expertise and track record will be further strengthened as they expand their manpower, infrastructure, and geographic reach.
According to Pinky Pe Tobiano, the future of quality testing and certification will focus on reducing errors, eliminating unnecessary testing, and addressing the challenges of global compliance, as more products are launched at an accelerated rate. QualiBet BVAQ is committed to being a catalyst for change and providing practical and technical solutions, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that require guidance on best practices.
QualiBet BVAQ helps SMEs comply with FDA and DOH regulations through their Certificate of Analysis, which is recognized by food exporters since they are now part of a global conglomerate. The company wants to advocate for improving the environment by helping government bodies and businesses, whether large corporations or SMEs, to thrive.
