Bia Analytical and Wilten Instrumenten Announce Strategic Benelux Partnership


September 15, 2026

Bia Analytical is pleased to announce a new strategic partnership with Wilten Instrumenten, a respected supplier of laboratory instrumentation and analytical solutions across the Benelux region.

The partnership brings together Bia Analytical’s innovative authenticity verification and quality assurance solutions, including its Biametric™ Portable Device, with Wilten Instrumenten’s extensive customer network, technical expertise and long-standing presence in the food, life sciences and industrial sectors across the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.

Through the collaboration, Wilten Instrumenten will act as Bia Analytical’s exclusive Biametric™ Portable Device distribution partner in the Benelux region, providing customers with local sales support, application expertise and a dedicated point of contact.

The Biametric™ Portable Device puts authenticity analysis directly into the hands of food manufacturers, ingredient suppliers and laboratories. Powered by advanced chemometric modelling and cloud technology, it delivers instant authenticity screening anywhere in the supply chain, enabling rapid, informed decision-making. With unlimited testing, organisations can fully represent every batch without being constrained by testing costs or the delays associated with sending samples to external laboratories for verification.

“We are delighted to partner with Wilten Instrumenten,” said Simon Cole, CEO of Bia Analytical. “Their strong reputation, technical capability and commitment to building long-term customer relationships make them an ideal partner as we continue to expand our presence across Europe. Together, we can help more businesses access practical tools that support product quality, reduce risk and deliver greater confidence in decision-making.”

Founded in 1952, Wilten Instrumenten has built a reputation for delivering high-quality laboratory instruments and application support to customers operating in food production, biotechnology, life sciences, research and industrial environments. The addition of Bia Analytical’s Biametric™ Portable Device and associated services further strengthens Wilten’s offering to customers seeking innovative approaches to quality assurance and food safety.

Derk Wilten, Managing Director of Wilten Instrumenten, commented:

“We are excited to work alongside Bia Analytical and introduce their technology to customers throughout the Benelux region. The Biametric™ Portable Device offers a practical and innovative approach that aligns well with the needs of many organisations operating within food production, quality control and laboratory environments. We look forward to working together to support customers across the region.”

The partnership reflects a shared commitment to delivering practical analytical tools that strengthen supply chain confidence and help customers verify product authenticity more quickly and cost effectively.


Joint Presence at World of Technology & Science

As part of the partnership launch, Bia Analytical will join Wilten Instrumenten at the upcoming World of Technology & Science exhibition in Utrecht.

Visitors will have the opportunity to meet representatives from both organisations, learn more about the partnership and see live demonstrations of Bia Analytical’s Biametric™ Portable Device. The event will showcase how rapid authenticity screening can strengthen quality assurance programmes, support supply chain confidence and enable faster decision-making.

The exhibition will also provide an opportunity to discuss emerging trends in food production, automation and data-driven decision-making across the sector.

Further details regarding stand location and demonstration schedules will be announced closer to the event.
