Leading auditors EFSIS has opened a new office in the Czech Republic.

The company, which provides third part inspection services to the food industry, describes the move as a major step forward in its coverage of Central Europe.

Paul Ruocco, marketing and international operations director, said: “Some of the biggest food businesses in Europe are present in the region, particularly in food retailing.

“That means big demand for the full range of inspection and certification services that we can offer.”

The new office is based in Sumperk, in the east of the Czech Republic.
