About us

HQC Europe was established in 1983 and has been involved in Halal product certification ever since. In the 1980s meat was a key product, and already then a Halal certificate was required to export to countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates. Our company is affiliated with governments and recognised by them.

Thanks to our many years of experience in both the European and international markets, we have expertise in many areas, from food to pharma. Our goal is to properly guide companies through certification and to work together as a reliable partner.

Besides being an accredited agency, HQC holds the regional presidency for Europe of the World Halal Food Council (WHFC), an umbrella organisation founded in 1999 with more than 55 Halal bodies worldwide.
