Eurofins (Paris:ERF):
Eurofins Scientific (EUFI.PA), the world leader in food and
environment testing services, announces the acquisition of the food
and environmental testing laboratory of Maintpartner Group, a
leading supplier of industrial maintenance and operation services
in the Baltic Sea region.
The laboratory employs 27 staff and is located in the Kokkola
Industrial Zone, providing Eurofins entry into the country’s
fastest-growing port. As part of Maintpartner Group, the laboratory
has developed strong inroads with the largest customers in the
agro-chemical and food industries. It also provides environmental
testing and sampling services to both private and public sector
clients.
The acquisition provides Eurofins a solid platform with which to
roll-out its capabilities and the complete suite of analytical
services to increase customer penetration and market share.
Furthermore, the laboratory’s strategic location in the Kokkola
Industrial Park provides Eurofins access to the local hub for
several large chemicals companies. In turn, the laboratory will
benefit from the breadth of Eurofins’ analytical portfolio and
expertise, which allows it to offer the most complete range of
services to both existing and potential new customers.
Comment from Lasse Mäkelä, Managing Director for Eurofins
Scientific, Finland: “The acquisition of the Kokkola laboratory
reflects Maintpartner’s confidence that Eurofins has the
capabilities to successfully develop the laboratory, allowing
Maintpartner to focus on their core competence. It also reflects
our commitment to further strengthen Eurofins’ position as the
leading private, independent analytical testing service provider in
Finland.”
