It has an office in Manila and will be opening a Biochemical Food Testing Laboratory in Clark, Pampanga on the first quarter of 2020.

Consul General Cortes with the Prime Board of Directors Salah Ameen, Abdulmajeed Malek, Mohamed Badri, Mary Jane Alvero-Al Mahdi, and Angeline Rivera, undertook a comprehensive tour of Prime’s laboratories which are capable of performing physical, mechanical, and chemical tests on construction materials such as soil, aggregate, concrete, cement, steel, asphalt and water, as well as environmental analysis, environmental monitoring, geotechnical investigations and microbiological tests on food, water, and air.

“Prime was beginning its presence in the Philippines through its microbiological testing laboratory on food in Clark, Pampanga and hoping to expand with setting up its laboratories on construction, road, and building materials,” Prime said. END
