Eurofins (Paris:ERF):
Eurofins Scientific (EUFI.PA), the world leader in food and
environment testing, announces the acquisition of QC Laboratories
(QCL), a leading full-service environment and food analytical
testing provider, as well as a dairy testing reference laboratory,
located 80 miles from Eurofins’ flagship Lancaster campus.
Founded in 1943, QCL employs about 200 staff and generates
annual revenues of about US$ 20m across its 2 laboratories in
Pennsylvania. QCL offers a broad range of analytical services to
support both commercial clients and government agencies to comply
with major federal and state regulatory programs. QCL’s food
testing services include both microbiology and chemistry testing,
with a strong reputation in the local market for dairy testing. In
environmental testing, QCL’s analytical competencies include the
full spectrum of testing services for compliance with the US
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) programs.
QCL’s competencies complement Eurofins’ recognized capabilities
and reinforce the Group’s growing US footprint, especially on the
East Coast. Its addition into the Eurofins network demonstrates the
Group’s commitment to expanding its presence and service offering
in the US market. In return, QCL gains access to Eurofins’ robust
network capabilities and the latest technologies to further improve
its service offering to its customers, thereby further increasing
market share.
Comment from Dr. Gilles Martin, Eurofins CEO: “We are pleased to
welcome QCL to the Eurofins Group. QCL’s competencies and
geographical focus are a good fit to Eurofins’ food and environment
testing footprint in the US. This acquisition is a further
demonstration of Eurofins’ commitment to build the best and
widest-reaching analytical testing network in the market.”
