Quality
is a key note at LANCO. This obsession with Quality can be seen
at every area of its operations: From Collection of raw Spices through
their, Cleaning, Grading, Processing right up to Packing and Shipping.

For
its In-process quality control, LANCO has set up its own indigenous
Laboratory named LANCO LABORATORY. Set up in 1987, as part
of LANCO’s mission for meeting all International quality
standards, LANCO LABORATORY is approved by AGMARK, Government
of India. The Chemist and Lab Supervisors are also certified
by AGMARK, Government of India to test for quality. Each and
every lot of spices processed, is tested separately and dispatched
only after passing stringent quality specification. Though
it is own laboratory of LANCO SPICES, it functions indigenously
and independently. |

The Laboratory is equipped with Spectrophotometer, Imported Digital
Balance, Imported Electronic Microscope, Muffle Furnace, Hot Air
Oven and other valuable equipments used in testing and grading spices
both whole and Powder.
