About us

Our objective at Precision Oil, is to provide a comprehensive analytical and advisory service to the fats and oils industry. We strive to create a “one stop shop” where a client can engage in a conversation about his or her product, leave the conversation knowing which analyses need to be conducted and receive a Certificate of Analysis applicable to the specific sample. Interpretation of the results is available and we want our client to feel that they know more about their product after their experience with our laboratory.

 History 

Precision Oil Laboratories was established in 2009 by Dr Mathilda Mostert, and started as a vision to serve the oil industry with quality and compositional analysis as well as with interpretation, assistance and guidance.

Initially only basic analysis as well as consultancy in the oil industry was available. As the need arose for a reliable laboratory to support the consultancy and basic analysis, the laboratory gradually expanded the amount of analytical services on offer.

We have gained a great deal of experience in the fats and oils sector and consider ourselves as experts in the field. We have been SANAS (South African National Accreditation Service) accredited since February 2018 and take part in the Proficiency Testing Scheme of the American Oil Chemists’ Society as well as the German Society for Fat Science.
