*ST. LOUIS* — Safety certification provider Kiwa ASI acquired TSLC, a
Canadian certification body with experience in CanadaGAP audits and
certifications. The acquisition expands Kiwa’s presence in Canada and the
agricultural and cannabis sectors.

TSLC is one of five approved, licensed certification bodies for the
CanadaGAP program.

Frank Schreurs, president and managing director at TSLC, will add his 40
years of food safety and quality experience to Kiwa. Schreurs was a
founding member of the Canadian Horticultural Council (CHC) On-Farm Food
Safety Committee, creators of the CanadaGAP Program, and he played a key
role in the program’s early adoption, leading one of the first
certification bodies to offer CanadaGAP audits in 2009.

In 2022, ASI became a Kiwa Company, expanding from an SQF Certification
Body to offering several other GFSI programs like BRCGS, FSSC22000, IFS,
and more. This agreement with TSLC allows Kiwa ASI to continue its
strategic growth in inspections and certifications, while adding to Kiwa’s
global footprint in food, feed, and agriculture sectors in North America.

Clients of TSLC will continue to receive uninterrupted service from their
existing audit and certification team.
