Interlab

What Interlab does

Interlab (İnterlab Laboratuar Ürünleri San. Ve Tic. A.Ş.) is a Turkish laboratory products manufacturer and distributor founded in 1983 and headquartered in Arnavutköy, Istanbul. The company operates a dual model: it manufactures proprietary ISOLAB-branded laboratory chemicals, glassware, plasticware, and consumables, and it acts as an authorized representative/distributor for a portfolio of globally recognized brands including Cytiva, Thermo Fisher Scientific, MedChemExpress, Honeywell, Macherey-Nagel, LLG, Goodfellow, Sampling Systems, and Labmix24. Its products carry internationally recognized certifications (TDS, MSDS, COA, COC, COO, CE/EC, DEM) supporting both Turkish regulated customers and export markets.

The product portfolio spans more than 10,000 SKUs across general laboratory consumables, life science products (cell culture, microbiology, molecular biology), laboratory devices and equipment, and chemical reagents. In-house manufacturing capabilities include proprietary PET bottle blowing machinery (developed and US-tested) and a newly announced high-capacity Pasteur Pipette Machine. Operations are supported by a 20,000 m² facility, 300+ employees, 8 regional offices across Turkey, an active e-commerce platform at shop.interlab.com.tr, and exports to 100+ countries. In 2025 the company launched new PET-based products, refreshed its e-commerce site, and introduced the LABS FOR KIDS educational product line, signaling product and channel expansion.

Revenue is generated through direct B2B sales (including field sales via the 8 regional offices), online sales through shop.interlab.com.tr, and authorized brand distribution agreements. Customer segments include pharmaceutical companies, public and private universities, medical equipment manufacturers, the defense industry, and private analytical laboratories. Pricing is unit-based in Turkish Lira with VAT included. No external funding rounds, M&A activity, or disclosed revenue figures are present in the source material.

Direct peers

• Avantor (VWR): Avantor (the parent of VWR) is the world's largest dedicated laboratory products distributor, offering a full catalog of consumables, chemicals, instruments, and life-science products to academic, pharma, and industrial customers. Interlab operates the same B2B distribution-plus-private-label playbook on a smaller regional scale in Turkey and surrounding export markets.
• BRAND (Brand GmbH + CO KG): BRAND manufactures high-quality liquid handling and lab consumables (Dispensette, Transferpette, plastic and glass labware)—a private-label German competitor to ISOLAB with similar mid-market positioning on premium plastics and glassware. Comparable product portfolio and academic/pharma customer base, serving as a European benchmark for ISOLAB's export ambitions.
• Lab Logistics Group (LLG): LLG is a European lab supplies marketplace/distributor consolidating thousands of consumables SKUs for academic and industrial buyers. Interlab is currently a distribution partner for LLG but competes with the same marketplace model in Turkey and export markets, making it a relevant direct peer in lab-supply B2B distribution.
• Kartell S.p.A. (Labware Division): Kartell's labware division manufactures plastic laboratory products (bottles, beakers, graduated cylinders) for analytical, clinical, and educational markets. Comparable product mix to ISOLAB, similar price-quality positioning, and shared channel through academic/industrial lab distributors.
• DWK Life Sciences: DWK Life Sciences (formerly Wheaton/Duram) manufactures laboratory glassware and primary packaging consumables (Erlenmeyer flasks, media bottles, sample containers), directly mirroring Interlab's ISOLAB glassware and PET bottle product lines. Comparable in product category, OEM/private-label model, and pharma/analytical customer use cases.
• Eppendorf: Eppendorf is a leading manufacturer of premium lab consumables (pipettes, tips, tubes, plates) and instruments—directly overlapping with Interlab's pipette and consumables offering under ISOLAB. Comparable in product mix and customer base (academic and biopharma labs), though Eppendorf competes upstream in Germany rather than regionally in Turkey.

Broad incumbents

• Thermo Fisher Scientific: Thermo Fisher Scientific manufactures and distributes a broad portfolio of laboratory chemicals, consumables, instruments, and bioprocess products—the same categories Interlab serves. Interlab is currently an authorized Turkey distributor for Thermo Fisher Chemicals, making it both a competitor (in lab supply in general) and a downstream channel partner for the global incumbent.
• Macherey-Nagel: Macherey-Nagel is a German manufacturer of chromatography and analytical lab products (columns, papers, membrane filters, test kits). Interlab is its authorized distributor in Turkey, addressing the same chromatography and analytical lab customer base with complementary (rather than purely competing) offerings.
• Sartorius: Sartorius supplies bioprocess and lab products—cell culture, filtration, fermentation, and lab consumables—serving the same biopharma and academic customer base that Interlab addresses via its Cytiva partnership. Comparable in life-science consumables and Turkish/EU demand overlap, though considerably larger and more instrument-heavy.

Emerging players

• Citotest Scientific: Citotest manufactures laboratory plasticware and consumables (pipette tips, tubes, plates) primarily for the global export market at cost-competitive pricing. Comparable product overlap with ISOLAB's plastic consumables line, often competing on price in standard plasticware SKUs that Interlab also sells.
