Odournet UK Ltd Opens Altrincham Odour Laboratory

Odournet UK Ltd has opened a new odour laboratory and consultancy office in Altrincham, continuing to build on its position of the UK’s leading odour assessment consultancy.

The facility is located in Bowden, Altrincham, and was chosen for its excellent transport links and proximity to Manchester airport. It provides Odournet with a base to expand its extensive existing portfolio of odour analysis and assessment services to clients in the north of England, Scotland and Ireland.

The odour laboratory is only the third of its kind in the UK, and uses trained odour panellists to appraise and characterise odour samples, for the purposes of solving environmental odour nuisance problems, and assessing the qualities of consumer products (e.g. deodorants). The facility will operate under Odournet’s existing UK accreditation Service (UKAS) certification compliant to British and International quality standards.

"It offers us an excellent opportunity to enhance the level of service we provide to our northern client base, and also promote the application of sensory odour science to a wider audience."

Odournet UK Ltd is a leading UK specialist odour consultancy. The company is part of the Odournet group which employs 60 staff throughout Europe. Odournet offers a full range of services to assist industry to assess and solve environmental odour problems and evaluate commercial products using sensory analysis techniques.
