Sartorius is one of the few life science companies to have grown continuously for over 150 years, tracing its origins to Göttingen, Germany, in 1870. Today it serves as a critical partner to biopharma manufacturers and research laboratories worldwide, supplying the equipment, consumables, and data analytics tools that underpin the development and production of biological medicines.
The company's Bioprocess Solutions division is its largest business segment, focused on upstream and downstream bioprocessing. Sartorius supplies single-use bioreactors, filtration systems, cell culture media, and chromatography equipment used in the manufacture of monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, cell and gene therapies, and other biologics. Its Stedim brand, brought into the group through the acquisition of Sartorius Stedim Biotech, is widely recognised across manufacturing floors globally. The division's single-use technology portfolio has become a standard reference point for contract development and manufacturing organisations and integrated biopharma producers alike.
The Lab Products & Services division serves research and quality-control laboratories with high-precision balances, pipettes, laboratory water purification systems, and related instruments. These products carry the company's longstanding reputation for measurement accuracy, rooted in its original weighing instrument heritage. Software platforms including the Sartorius Data Intelligence suite extend the offering into digital process analytics and lab data management.
Sartorius is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and is a constituent of several major European indices, reflecting its scale as a multi-billion-euro revenue business with a presence across more than 110 countries. Manufacturing and R&D sites span Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific, with a significant operational footprint in France through its Sartorius Stedim Biotech subsidiary, which is separately listed on Euronext Paris.
The company has grown substantially through acquisition as well as organic expansion, incorporating data analytics specialists such as Umetrics and BIA Separations to strengthen its digital and process chromatography capabilities. Its customer base spans early-stage biotechs through to the world's largest pharmaceutical manufacturers.
