MOCON Partners with Ronox in Testing Lab

Published: January 16, 2014

MINNEAPOLIS, MN | MOCON and Ronox Technology, Kobierzyce, Poland, have partnered to establish a certified lab for permeation, seal strength, and leak detection testing of flexible and rigid packaging structures used in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. Ronox Technology specializes in selling and repairing specialized packaging instrumentation and equipment.

Ronox Technology becomes the first MOCON-certified test facility in Poland and the ninth MOCON-certified lab in the world. Certification means state-of-the-art instrumentation has been installed, inspected, and is maintained by a MOCON-factory authorized service technician and the laboratory staff has been trained on MOCON corporate test lab methods/protocols and recordkeeping to ensure quality and equivalency.

“With economic growth being projected for many of Poland’s market segments, locating a MOCON-certified lab there provides an ideal local support system for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and other companies,” says Alan Shema, product manager for consulting and test services at MOCON. “In addition to Poland, Ronox will also be serving the needs of Hungry, Romania, and the Ukraine.”

Ronox's laboratory capabilities now include MOCON-certified oxygen and water vapor permeation instrumentation as well as burst and pressure decay leak testing.

“MOCON certification assures that companies using any one of these facilities will get accurate, repeatable, and consistent permeation test services on a global level,” says Shema. “This is ideal for multinational companies which can now be assured that their materials or packages are tested using identical standards and protocols on four different continents.”
