Faust Lab Science

What Faust Lab Science does

Faust Lab Science is a German B2B laboratory equipment supplier founded in 2013 and headquartered in Knetzgau/Bergkamen, Germany, operating with a staff of 11-50 employees. The company functions as a multi-brand specialty distributor, selling laboratory vessels, tools, hoses, and analyzers across 17 major product categories through an e-commerce storefront that serves lab procurement buyers.

Its core offering is the consolidation of more than 20 recognized laboratory brands, including Mettler Toledo, Ohaus, Eppendorf, Binder, IKA, TPP, LAUDA, Liebherr, DWK, BRAND, KNF, Heidolph, Vacuubrand, Endress+Hauser, Jet Biofil, Kern, Sigma, and Faster, alongside its own private-label brand, LLG Labware. The catalog also features IKA labworldsoft integration via USB, allowing customers to parameterize IKA equipment directly through the storefront.

The business model is straightforward B2B distribution: revenue is generated through catalog markups on distributed equipment and on the proprietary LLG Labware line, with sales transacted through the e-commerce channel. The go-to-market targets laboratory buyers across multiple industry verticals (pharmaceutical, chemical, academic, biotech, food and environmental testing), with the storefront available in German and English suggesting cross-border ambition beyond the German regional base. No funding history, revenue figures, customer counts, or leadership changes are disclosed in the available data.

Regional players

• Häberle Labortechnik: German regional laboratory equipment distributor focused on the DACH market. Comparable in business model and regional focus to Faust Lab Science, with similar product breadth across lab instruments and consumables.

Broad incumbents

• VWR International (Avantor): One of the world's largest lab supplies distributors (now part of Avantor), serving research, pharma, and industrial customers globally. Comparable as a full-range lab distributor but operates at vastly greater scale and geographic reach than Faust.
• Bio-Rad Laboratories: Global life science research and clinical diagnostics manufacturer and supplier. Comparable in life science product categories (genomics, proteomics, cell culture) but operates as a manufacturer with broader direct sales channels than Faust's distribution model.
• Fisher Scientific (Thermo Fisher): Global laboratory supplies and equipment distributor under Thermo Fisher Scientific, covering chemicals, instruments, consumables, and services. A broad incumbent in the same product categories as Faust Lab Science but with substantially larger scale and global presence.
• Merck / Sigma-Aldrich (Life Science): Global life science and laboratory products provider offering chemicals, reagents, consumables, and analytical instruments. Comparable in product categories served but operates as a manufacturer-distributor at a far larger scale than Faust.

Direct peers

• Th. Geyer Group: German-based distributor of laboratory chemicals, consumables, and equipment to research, analytical, and industrial laboratories. Directly comparable to Faust Lab Science in product scope, customer base, and B2B distribution model.
• Carl Roth: German laboratory supplies distributor offering chemicals, consumables, and equipment to research and industrial labs. Closely comparable to Faust Lab Science as a mid-sized German full-range lab supplier with overlapping customer base and product breadth.
• Lab Logistics Group (LLG): German laboratory consumables and equipment distributor operating the LLG private-label brand — which Faust Lab Science also distributes. Highly comparable in catalog scope and B2B distribution model, with both companies operating as direct or near-direct peers in the German lab supply channel.

Others

• IKA-Werke: German manufacturer of laboratory equipment (stirrers, shakers, dispersers, reaction blocks) — also one of Faust's key distribution partners. Comparable product overlap but upstream manufacturer role versus Faust's distributor role.
• Eppendorf SE: Leading life science manufacturer of pipettes, consumables, and bioprocessing equipment — and one of Faust's core distribution partners. Comparable in product category focus but operates upstream as a manufacturer rather than a distributor.
