    About us

    Supporting Sustainable Trade and Global Supply Chains

    For farmers, processors, and traders, accessing global markets requires more than opportunity, it requires trust, transparency, and internationally recognized standards. At Control Union India, we help make that possible.

    We work closely with businesses across India to support their journey toward sustainable production and responsible trade. Through our services in certification, commodity inspections, laboratory testing, and collateral management, we enable organizations to demonstrate compliance, ensure product quality, and build credibility in both local and international markets.

    Our expertise spans a wide range of sectors, including agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries, forestry, textiles, and social compliance, allowing us to support supply chains from farm to final product. With deep industry knowledge and a strong local presence, we help businesses navigate complex standards while strengthening their market access.

    Control Union India is part of the Control Union Group, a family-owned company founded in the Netherlands in 1920. What began more than a century ago as an agricultural inspection business has grown into a global organization delivering quality assurance, certification, logistics, and risk management services.

    Today, the Control Union network operates in more than 80 countries with over 6,000 professionals worldwide, supporting companies in building transparent, responsible, and resilient supply chains.

    At Control Union India, we are proud to contribute to a future where sustainable practices, trusted verification, and responsible trade create lasting value for businesses, communities, and the environment.
