Eurofins operates a global network of more than 1,000 independent laboratory companies across 60 countries, employing over 65,000 scientists and professionals. Founded in Nantes, France in 1987, the company began as a single laboratory offering wine origin verification using SNIF-NMR®, a proprietary analytical technology developed by the founder's parents. From this specialised beginning, Eurofins has expanded into a comprehensive testing and analytical services provider.
The company provides laboratory analytical and testing services that verify product safety, authenticity, and quality across multiple industries. Its portfolio encompasses over 200,000 analytical methods applied to food testing, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, agroscience, environmental analysis, and general product safety verification. This breadth of technical capability reflects nearly four decades of growth through acquisition and organic expansion.
Eurofins serves clients requiring rigorous scientific verification of their products and processes. The company's services span analytical testing, environmental testing analytics, analytical methods development, and quality assurance across sectors where regulatory compliance and product integrity are critical. Its scale - from a three-person laboratory to a multinational network - demonstrates sustained demand for independent, specialised analytical capacity across industries and geographies.
