We are proud to announce the official opening of our new petrochemical testing laboratory in Hukou County, Jiujiang, China.

Officially inaugurated on July 2 during an unveiling ceremony, key representatives and partners attended, marking this important milestone in the expansion of our testing services in China.

Strengthening our petrochemical testing network in China

The inauguration of the Hukou laboratory represents another important step in strengthening our national petrochemical testing network. By expanding our capabilities in this region, we are enhancing support for petrochemical and fine chemical enterprises across northern Jiangxi, eastern Hubei and southwestern Anhui.

Located in Jiujiang, a strategic hub along the Yangtze River Waterway, Hukou has developed into an important port-based petrochemical industrial cluster. Our new laboratory has been established to meet the evolving needs of this regional industry, providing local enterprises with one-stop, internationally recognized testing services covering quality testing, trade compliance and import-export customs clearance.

Through this local presence, we can help create a full-chain service model that supports local testing and global access.

John Wang, Senior Director of Natural Resources for SGS in China, said: “The establishment of the Hukou Petrochemical Laboratory is an important strategic step in improving our nationwide testing network, strengthening testing services in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and supporting industrial growth in central China.

“The laboratory will support the high-quality development of the petrochemical industry in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, align closely with the needs of the petrochemical sector in central China, and provide professional support for regional industrial upgrading, green transformation and international development.”

Further underscoring the strategic importance of the facility, Arjan Praat, Vice President of Oil, Gas and Chemical Analytical Services, said: “Our global teams will continue to support local development in China by applying our technical expertise, internationally recognized testing standards and global industry experience.”

We look forward to Hukou laboratory empowering the local petrochemical industry — providing professional, reliable, and world-class testing services for the entire central China region.
