YOUR EXPERT
IN CRITICAL
ENVIRONMENT CONTROL

HeX Control operates in critical environments where contamination management is a natural requirement (clean rooms and controlled environments) as well as in environments with non-specific pollution (offices, buildings open to the public, housing, etc).

HeX Control performs on-site testing (most under accreditation scope), the results are then analyzed to provide a complete and comprehensive solution to the client. This mission requires a perfect knowledge of the field of application and our expertise meets these needs.

HeX Control considers for more than 15 years that environmental controls must be part of a global approach to risk management.

For over 15 years HEX has been of the opinion that environmental control
should be part of a comprehensive approach to risk management.
