Product quality is essential nowadays. Since the 1990s, consumers have become increasingly demanding and attentive, and the same is true for both national and supranational regulators (such as the EU). The concept of quality naturally has multiple meanings; in the food sector, for example, it can refer to a product’s safety, its nutritional value, its organoleptic properties, and so on. .
In the food industry — as well as in other fields where human health is at stake, such as pharmaceuticals — ensuring the highest quality standards is a strategic priority for every company, whether a large corporation or an SME. It is no coincidence that this industry allocates substantial resources to quality control, which is essential for maintaining competitiveness, reputation, and long-term sustainability. .
In Italy, food quality control is undoubtedly a priority. But turning that priority into reality requires the right technologies — and this is exactly what Eoptis provides. Based in Trento, the company has been supporting the Italian food industry and quality-control specialists for years. As its co-founder Luca Clementel notes, “We offer the market a wide range of innovative, high-performance tools for quality control through the measurement of a key parameter: color.” . .
Eoptis colorimeters provide accurate, reliable data and are a valuable tool for optimizing production cycles and driving innovation. The company offers both standard solutions, backed by a solid track record, and custom solutions — for example, for machine manufacturers in the food-processing sector. .
Eoptis technology is used by leading players in the food‑processing industry, such as Fava SpA — a global leader in technologies for the production of artisanal and industrial pasta, both dry and fresh. Fava has identified Eoptis’ CLM‑195 industrial colorimeter as the ideal solution for real‑time color measurement, eliminating the need for customers to rely on laboratory testing for specific spot checks. Astori Tecnica — a Brescia‑based company active since 1959 and specialized in supplying high‑quality products and instruments for agri‑food analysis laboratories — has also been promoting and offering Eoptis colorimeters to the market for several years, particularly the CLM‑194 and CLM‑196. Color analysis, for example, makes it possible to verify and optimize the characteristic whiteness of dairy products. The Consortium for the Protection of the Piedmontese Breed (Coalvi), renowned for the exceptional quality of its certified meat, uses the CLM‑194 to assess the color of veal.
“The companies in our country’s food industry — among the best in the world — deliver high‑quality food every day that not only feeds nearly sixty million Italians, but also serves as a pillar of national exports and a source of global prestige,” notes Luca Clementel. “At Eoptis, we work to support them every day with our colorimeters. This is a great source of both professional and personal satisfaction for us.”
