Reviewing our journey, projects, and achievements so far.

Expansion & Innovation

Opening of State-of-the-Art Pharmaceutical Lab – Mumbai

FDA-approved and NABL-accredited, the lab is built to meet the most rigorous global standards. With advanced technology and tailored solutions, it supports drug development, regulatory compliance, and premium quality control—empowering pharmaceutical companies to thrive in a competitive landscape. 

Launch of Food Testing Laboratory – Unjha, Gujarat  

Geo-Chem India, a proud member of the Cotecna Group, unveiled a specialized food testing lab in Unjha, Gujarat—a region renowned for its agricultural exports like spices, oilseeds, and psyllium husks. This new facility strengthens our footprint in food safety and quality assurance across western India. 

Consumer Product Testing & Inspection Laboratory in Tirupur, Tamil Nadu

Safety & Compliance 

India’s Own HSE Policy Released  

Cotecna India proudly launched its localized Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) Policy, reinforcing our commitment to workplace safety and regulatory excellence tailored to the Indian operational context. 

Safety Bulletin Initiative  

A new internal bulletin was introduced to keep teams informed and engaged on safety protocols, incident learnings, and best practices—fostering a culture of proactive safety. 

 

Sustainability in Action 

Paper & Plastic Waste Management  

The Cotecna CPS team took a bold step toward sustainability by replacing disposable paper cups with ceramic alternatives. Additionally, paper waste is now being recycled through a dedicated partner, reducing landfill impact and promoting circular practices. 

The team also successfully transitioned from non-compostable poly bags to compostable alternatives. This shift encourages eco-conscious practices across the organization and supports long-term sustainability goals. 

Plastic Reduction at APL Tirora Site  

In a smart move to curb plastic usage, Cotecna staff at the APL Tirora site upgraded sample bags to more durable versions. By extending their lifecycle from two to up to five uses, plastic consumption was cut by over 50%—a small change with a big environmental payoff.
