Eurofins Scientific is one of the world's largest networks of independent laboratories, offering an exceptionally broad range of testing, bioanalytical, and discovery services to the pharmaceutical, food, environmental, and consumer products industries. Founded in 1987 in Nantes, France, the company has grown from a specialist in food authenticity testing into a global life science services powerhouse, now operating more than 900 laboratories across over 60 countries.
Within the pharmaceutical sector, Eurofins provides contract testing services spanning the full drug development and manufacturing lifecycle. Its offerings include physicochemical analysis, microbiology and sterility testing, stability studies, method development and validation, and raw material testing. The company also operates a significant bioanalytical division, supporting clinical trials through regulated bioanalysis, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity testing. These capabilities make it a widely used partner for both large pharmaceutical companies and emerging biotech firms seeking outsourced laboratory expertise.
Eurofins has built a substantial presence in genomics services, including DNA sequencing, genotyping, gene synthesis, and next-generation sequencing, operating through its dedicated Eurofins Genomics brand. The group also supports CDMO partners and sponsors with quality control testing for biologics, biosimilars, and advanced therapy medicinal products. Its discovery sciences arm offers screening, ADME-Tox, and in vitro pharmacology services, enabling earlier-phase research outsourcing alongside its late-stage and commercial manufacturing quality work.
Listed on Euronext Brussels under the ticker ERF, Eurofins is headquartered in Luxembourg and operates with revenues that place it firmly among the leading life science services groups globally. Its decentralised laboratory network is a deliberate structural choice, allowing local regulatory expertise and rapid service delivery alongside the scale benefits of a multinational organisation. The company serves clients across agrochemical, environmental, forensic, and clinical diagnostics sectors in addition to its core pharmaceutical audience.
