Aliment Lab

What Aliment Lab does

QACSFOOD (operating under the name Aliment Lab) is an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory testing services provider headquartered in Piraeus, Greece, with a secondary location in Thessaloniki/Triandria. The company operates as a subsidiary of QACS, a parent strategic operating organization. It delivers chemical, microbiological, molecular, sensory, packaging, residue, and environmental testing services to industrial clients across the food, animal feed, packaging, and environmental sectors.

The service portfolio is organized into seven core categories: Food Quality Testing (nutritional analysis, microbiology, honey/oil/tobacco analysis, dietary supplements, food additives, animal feed), R&D Support (sensory analysis, compatibility, shelf life, oxidative stability, texture analysis, label control), Molecular Analyses (pathogen and allergen detection, GMO analysis, food authenticity verification, Metagenomic Mapping Service (MMS)), Packaging Analyses (migration testing, NIAS screening, heavy metals, OTR testing, PFAS analyses), Food Monitoring (FAPAS interlaboratory testing, rapid microbiology, hygiene), Environmental Analyses (water/wastewater testing), and Residue Analysis (pesticides, heavy metals, chemical substances). Technology is centered on conventional laboratory instrumentation across wet chemistry, microbiology, and molecular biology (PCR-based) workflows rather than software or platform architecture. All services are delivered through an ISO 17025 accredited quality system with an accreditation reference of ACCREDITATION-CERTIFICATESCOPE_QACSFOOD-195-GR_04.08.2025.

The business model is service-based B2B direct sales with no publicly disclosed pricing. Customer acquisition relies on a website/SEO presence, a LinkedIn corporate page, and bottom-of-funnel direct contact via phone, email, and online appointment booking. The headcount of 11 employees indicates a small, specialist operation with four customer segments (food, feed, packaging, environmental) addressed horizontally. Geographic scope is stated as Europe, and there is no evidence of recurring funding rounds, external investors, M&A activity, or disclosed revenue. The company does not maintain a mobile app, public API, or published SDK.

Broad incumbents

• ALS Global: International testing services group with a food and pharmaceutical testing division. Comparable analytical chemistry, microbiology, and residue testing capabilities across multiple regions.
• Eurofins Scientific: World's largest food and feed testing laboratory group with broad analytical service portfolios. Comparable service lines across food microbiology, contaminants, packaging, and environmental testing, but operating at vastly greater scale and geography.
• Intertek: Global quality-assurance provider with food testing, agricultural services, and packaging compliance offerings. Overlaps with QACSFOOD on residue, contaminant, and packaging-migration testing across multiple geographies.
• TÜV SÜD: German-origin testing, inspection, and certification group with food and packaging testing services. Comparable accreditation-driven testing, but as part of a much broader industrial services portfolio.
• Bureau Veritas: International TIC firm offering food testing and certification services to manufacturers and retailers. Comparable food analytical services, but delivered through a broader compliance and certification portfolio.
• SGS: Global testing, inspection, and certification company with a sizeable food and agricultural testing practice. Overlaps with QACSFOOD on food safety, residue, and packaging testing, but operates as a multi-industry incumbent.

Direct peers

• Neogen Corporation: Specialist food and animal safety testing company offering diagnostics, molecular, and pathogen/allergen detection products. Comparable in serving food manufacturers with rapid and laboratory-based molecular testing services.
• Mérieux NutriSciences: Global food testing, sensory, and labeling services provider serving food manufacturers. Directly comparable as a specialized food-and-packaging analytical laboratory with comparable service lines (microbiology, chemistry, sensory, shelf-life).

Others

• QACS (parent group): Parent testing laboratory group of which QACSFOOD is a subsidiary. Provides shared accreditation, infrastructure, and cross-vertical capabilities, but is ecosystem/parent rather than a head-to-head competitor.

Regional players

• TÜV Hellas: Greek TIC provider offering testing, inspection, and certification services domestically. Comparable regional competitor for accredited food and packaging testing within Greece, though with a broader industrial scope.
