NofaLab, jointly with Cotecna Spain, is pleased to announce the opening of a new agricultural facility in the port of Zierbena, Bilbao.
This project is a key part of our growth strategy to extend NofaLab’s existing testing and analysis capabilities in the Netherlands across the Iberian Peninsula.
The Zierbena terminal has a capacity to store up to 321,900 m3 of Biofuels, Chemicals and Petroleum products, in addition to loading docks for vessels.
Our new agricultural facility will initially be able to perform a visual control and sampling of animal fat before the discharge of trucks into shore tanks. The samples taken will then be analysed by our NofaLab team, offering clients a seamless and efficient service.
Currently, we are inspecting products produced in Portugal and Spain that will be mainly exported to Poland and Finland for technical use.
