The company employs more than 150 people and operates in more than 60 ports worldwide. In 2011, it achieved a turnover of nearly 8 million euros. Founded in 1987, the European Compliance Laboratory(ECL)is a laboratory that until then was a branch of Tempton Group,a German human resources services company.
