About XPCHEM
Founded in Switzerland in 2008, XPCHEM is a leading independent testing, inspection, analysis and certification company — specialising in petroleum products, chemical analysis and industrial testing.
Built on Swiss Precision Since 2008
XPCHEM was established in Zurich, Switzerland in 2008 by a team of analytical chemists and petroleum engineers who recognised a gap in the market for truly independent, technically rigorous testing services. From day one, our founding principle was simple: deliver results you can trust.
Starting as a specialist petroleum testing laboratory, we rapidly expanded our capabilities to encompass the full spectrum of chemical testing, inspection and certification. Switzerland's tradition of precision, neutrality and scientific excellence became the bedrock of our operating culture.
Today, XPCHEM operates a global network of accredited laboratories and inspection offices across 40+ countries, serving clients in the energy, petrochemical, manufacturing, environmental and trade sectors.
