Hoben International’s on-site laboratory is able to carry out a wide range of tests and analytical procedures on products at all stages of the process, from checking incoming material prior to mixing through to random checks during packaging.
Hoben International is able to accept materials for processing in bulk tankers, lorries and bulk tippers into our dry storage and dry tipping areas.

Repackaging
All types of re-packaging work are undertaken. We accept materials delivered in bulk tankers into our 70 tonne capacity silos giving the facility to pack directly into 25kg sacks or bulk bags. Most materials can be processed through our range of packing machines.
We specialise in packaging materials into various types of packaging with pack weights from 1500kg bulk bags down to 100g sachets. Packaging can be supplied along with any specific labelling requirements and we are also able to utilise customer supplied packaging.
On site facilities are available for the loading/unloading of containers. Storage and warehousing requirements can be arranged for processed materials.
