Cotecna and Wimpey Laboratories hosted a Gabonese delegation from the Ministry of Industry and the Standard Agency AGANOR (Agence Gabonnaise de Normalisation) to the United Arab Emirates.
To highlight our commitment to quality and conformity, we were honoured to host a delegation from the Gabonese Ministry of Industry and his Minister, Honorable Dr François Mbongo Rafemo Bourdette along with a delegation from AGANOR (Agence Gabonaise de Normalisation) at our UAE Cotecna office and our Wimpey laboratories in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Their visits presented a valuable opportunity for us to engage discussions and exchange insights on our growth path together.

As a reminder, since 2020, Cotecna has been authorized by AGANOR to support the Gabonese Conformity Assessment Programme (PROGEC) in verifying the conformity of regulated products imported into Gabon. This partnership underscores our commitment to upholding standards and facilitating trade in Gabon.
We are grateful for the Ministry of Industry and AGANOR's continued trust. As we move forward, we remain committed to maintaining the highest standards of quality and compliance, not only to meet regulatory requirements but also to exceed the expectations of our customers worldwide.
