WHY CHOOSE PGT CONTROL?
When importing raw food materials, unpleasant surprises are common.
With PGT Control, you secure your shipments through independent pre-shipment inspections.
We conduct independent quality inspections directly in the country of origin – before the goods even start their journey. Our experienced local inspectors collect neutral samples and thoroughly document the condition of the goods. The collected samples are then shipped via express service to a laboratory of your choice – for fast and independent analysis.

Only the combination of sampling and sample shipping creates real added value – enabling you to make an informed decision before purchasing.

HOW IT WORKS
ENSURING QUALITY CONTROL BEFORE IMPORT
1
INSPECTION AND SAMPLING IN THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN
Our local inspectors collect neutral samples of your raw food materials under hygienic conditions, directly on site.
Each sampling is carefully photo-documented and sent via express shipping (e.g. DHL Express) to a laboratory of your choice.
We don’t conduct the analysis ourselves but provide you with a detailed sampling report.
2
AN INDEPENDENT BASIS FOR DECISION MAKING
Shortly after sampling, you will receive a complete report with photo documentation.
The laboratory you choose will perform the analysis and send you the results directly.
Based on this, you can decide whether to proceed with the purchase - securely, independently, and with full confidence.
3
ON-SITE LOADING CONTROL
We monitor container loading directly in the country of origin.
This ensures that only the inspected goods are shipped, protecting you from incorrect loads, complaints, and unnecessary costs.

TESTIMONIALS
“What we particularly appreciate is the transparency at every step: from sampling to the detailed report, which we receive almost immediately. Knowing that the lab analysis follows later gives us planning security and confidence.”
Michael R., Quality Manager, Importer of Dried Fruit
“The sampling report, which we receive as soon as the next day after placing the order, is an essential tool for our purchasing decisions. It allows us to react quickly – even before the lab results are available.”
Elena W., Buyer for Organic Ingredients
