Renolab is an analysis laboratory with more than 20 years’ experience in serving the worldwide chemical industry.

History
From the Nineties to the present, in the world of GLP analyses
The history of Renolab started in the Nineties, when it was created as the residue and chemical-physical analysis laboratory of the Research Centre of a major Italian company engaged on the development of new molecules for use in agrochemicals, an area then in its infancy.
Since the outset, Renolab has always been an analysis centre functioning in accordance with Good Laboratory Practice, initially specialising strongly in the chemistry of agrochemicals and then extending its expertise into other sectors of the chemicals industry.
In 2004 Renolab was acquired by a large German company, leader in registration and consulting services. It changed hands again in 2008, and became once again an all-Italian laboratory. Its name refers to its geographic location in the valley of the Reno, the second largest river (after the Po) in Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region.
In March 2018 Renolab became part of Tentamus Group, a global network of laboratories and service companies working for quality and safety in the food&feed, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and medical sectors.
