Broad incumbents

• Quest Diagnostics: Large clinical and workplace testing laboratory operator offering drug and alcohol testing services for employers and legal programs. Broad incumbent comparable as a workplace drug/alcohol testing channel player, though operating at a much larger scale via lab services rather than equipment distribution.
• Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA: German safety and medical technology company that manufactures Alcotest breathalyzers used by police forces worldwide. A broad incumbent offering competing breath alcohol testing instruments and a wider safety/medical portfolio to similar government and enterprise customers.
• Abbott (Toxicology): Diversified diagnostics manufacturer supplying workplace drug screening products and laboratory testing reagents. Broad incumbent comparable through its workplace drug and alcohol testing product line that competes for the same enterprise safety budgets Ribco addresses.
