“The Biosearch laboratory will reinforce Eurofins’ existing footprint as well as expand client reach in the UK and Ireland. We in turn look forward to strengthening the Biosearch portfolio and operating footprint by providing access to the full range of services and capabilities of the UK & Ireland business as well as the wider Eurofins Group.”

The site, based in Belfast, is within easy reach of all major access routes, enabling the team to continue offering customers a reliable 7 days a week, 365 days a year, service.

This acquisition follows the recent investment by Eurofins in a state-of-the-art Food Nutrition and Environment Chemistry campus in Cork and capacity increase in its Food Microbiology facility in Waterford, underlining the business’s long-term commitment to the Irish market.
