For more than 140 years, SGS has been synonymous with trust. The story begins in 1878, when a young entrepreneur inspects a shipment of grain imported from Russia upon its arrival in Rouen, France. He quickly developed his business, based on the idea that offering confidence and security to grain traders was a great opportunity with enormous growth potential. Over time, this opportunity became a world benchmark of integrity and quality.

 

In the last 20 years SGS has become a reference in innovative fields such as digitalization, cyber security, sustainability, climate change management, etc. Today the company has 99,600 employees operating a network of 2,600 offices and laboratories worldwide.
