Calidad Certificada Chile

What Calidad Certificada Chile does

Calidad Certificada Chile SPA is a privately held quality management consulting firm headquartered in Machalí, in Chile's Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins region, founded in 2020. The company specializes in certification auditing and implementation support for the agricultural and agro-industry sectors, with its core offering centered on GLOBALG.A.P. audits and related add-on modules including GRASP, FSMA PSR, SPRING, GROW, and NURTURE. It also delivers evaluations against LEAF Marque, HACCP, and BRC standards, enabling Chilean and Latin American producers to access international export markets that require third-party recognition of food safety, environmental sustainability, and worker welfare practices.

The business operates as a B2B professional services firm using a sales-led go-to-market, delivering on-site audits, inspections, and consulting support directly to agricultural producers and agro-industry clients. Revenue is generated through service fees for certification consulting and audit engagements, with pricing conducted on a quote basis. The company holds a strategic alliance with RINA, a global certification body operating across 70+ countries, under which Calidad Certificada conducts consulting and preparatory work while RINA performs the official third-party certification audits. The team comprises approximately eight professionals including certified auditors, technical inspectors, and administrative staff.

The firm is closely held, with no external funding rounds, parent company, or institutional investors disclosed. Operations are concentrated in Chile with limited demonstrated international engagement, including a flagship case study supporting the first GLOBALG.A.P. certification in Uruguay's rice sector for client Arrozal 33. The company maintains a professional website and direct contact channels as its primary marketing and customer acquisition vehicles, with no disclosed app, API, or digital product surface.
