What Jorgensen Laboratories does

Jorgensen Laboratories is a privately held, veterinarian-owned and family-run LLC founded in 1965 and headquartered in Loveland, Colorado. The company supplies veterinary specialty instruments and consumables under its JorVet brand, operating a 6,000+ SKU catalog that includes proprietary manufactured products (such as the TonoVet tonometer, NG-TEST ESBL diagnostic dipsticks, a portable Video Otoscope, and the Cool Renewal Cryosurgical system) alongside distributed third-party lines sourced from manufacturers in the US, Germany, Finland, and Japan. Its core technology is in clinical veterinary instrumentation rather than software; products are physical devices, consumables, and surgical instruments used in companion animal, large animal, and mixed veterinary practices.

The business model is a hybrid distribution and light-manufacturing model. Revenue is generated through direct catalog and e-commerce sales, supported by a regional manager salesforce covering the lower 48 US states and international shipping for overseas customers. The company serves 6,000+ veterinary customers, including private clinics, veterinary hospitals, teaching institutions, large animal operations, and small animal practices. Customer financing for capital equipment is offered through a partnership with Reliant Capital Group, and the company runs an in-house continuing-education platform (JorVet Academy) that provides free clinical training to practitioners and technicians.

Growth mechanisms combine organic product launches in diagnostic and imaging categories with selective inorganic expansion — most notably the 2024 acquisition of Vetlab Supply to broaden laboratory distribution. The company employs approximately 115 people, has no external funding rounds on record, and does not disclose revenue. Operational emphasis is on catalog breadth, regional sales coverage, warehouse and distribution capability, and proprietary JorVet product development anchored by long-tenured brand equity in the veterinary channel.
