Eurofins

What Eurofins does

Eurofins Scientific SE is a Luxembourg-headquartered (operationally Dublin, Ireland) public testing-services conglomerate that operates a global network of more than 950 laboratories across 59 countries, employing over 65,000 people. Founded in 1987 by Gilles Martin, the company provides analytical testing, inspection, and certification services to the pharmaceutical, food, environmental, clinical diagnostics, cosmetics, consumer products, and agroscience industries. Its portfolio spans over 200,000 validated analytical methods and includes proprietary diagnostic products such as TruGraf and OmniGraf (non-invasive blood tests for kidney transplant rejection), a PFAS testing capability reaching parts-per-trillion detection limits, and standards such as 65 AOAC Official Methods for infant formula testing and ISO 11665-4 for Radon detection.

Eurofins earns revenue primarily through quote-based B2B contracts for laboratory testing, certification programs (Clean Sport Certified, Certified Dietary Supplement, FSSC 22000, BRCGS, IFS, SQF), and contract research services for biopharma, cosmetics, and consumer product clients. The company runs a decentralized entrepreneurship model in which acquired laboratories retain brand autonomy while leveraging shared infrastructure, methods, and standards. Sales are executed through direct enterprise field sales, with local laboratory managers driving regional relationships and dedicated account teams handling multinational accounts. Pricing is largely subscription-style with annual contracts for high-volume enterprise testing.

Recent strategic activity has emphasized both portfolio optimization and expansion: the company announced the EUR 575 million divestiture of its Electrical & Electronics business to UL Solutions (closing expected Q4 2026), while pursuing acquisitions in clinical diagnostics (Ascend Clinical, SYNLAB España, Infinity Laboratories), Latin America (Labormar), the Middle East (Ajal for Laboratories), and Asia (Genetic Lab). Q1 2026 revenue was EUR 1.79 billion with 2.6% organic growth, with management targeting mid-single-digit organic growth and a 24% adjusted EBITDA margin by 2027.
