Zimbabwe Minister of Industry and Commerce visits Wimpey Lab and Cotecna UAE

Cotecna was pleased to host the Zimbabwe Minister of Industry and Commerce Honourable Nqobizitha Mangliso Ndhlovu and the Embassy of Zimbabwe Consul General in Dubai Mr Never Mutizwa. The delegation visited the Cotecna office and Wimpey laboratory in Dubai. The visit marked the second-year anniversary since the Zimbabwe government appointed Cotecna to issue Certificates of Conformity for its CBCA assessment programme.

Minister Ndhlovu was accompanied by the Deputy Director of Assurance Mrs Riana Chibanda and Provincial Director Mr Kupukani Masunugure. Their visit aimed to facilitate discussions on the existing programme and explore avenues for forging new partnerships.

Throughout the visit, it became clear that the parties truly connected with our commitment to compliance and excellence in service delivery as they took an informed tour of Cotecna's offices and its state-of-the-art Wimpey Laboratories in Dubai. Our cutting-edge facilities are proof of our unwavering commitment to innovation and highest industry standards.
