Eurofins provides laboratory analytical testing and verification services across multiple industries, helping companies establish product safety, authenticity, and quality. Founded in 1987 in Nantes, France, the company began with a family-developed analytical technology called SNIF-NMR®, initially applied to wine origin verification. It has since expanded into a global network spanning 60 countries with over 65,000 scientists and professionals.
The company operates through more than 1,000 independent companies offering a portfolio exceeding 200,000 analytical methods. Its technical expertise encompasses analytical chemistry, laboratory testing methodology development, and product authentication across food, environmental, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and agroscience sectors. This breadth reflects growth built on continuous acquisition and capability expansion rather than organic development alone.
Eurofins' scale and specialisation position it as a significant player in regulated testing and verification. The company's evolution from a single-purpose laboratory to a diversified global testing network demonstrates sustained investment in both geographic reach and methodological depth across industries where independent verification carries regulatory or commercial importance.
