The expansion doubles the present number of laboratories facilitating RFIs increased capability and includes a laboratory dedicated to field trials. In addition four private laboratories will be reserved for client use offering improved comfort and facilities whilst on site for the preparation of R&D samples, and other business use. RFI will be relaunching its website as www.rfi-global.com on 28 June 2004 to reflect the new branding of each business area and assist its stakeholders in finding information on the testing and consultancy services that RFI provides.
