Eurofins reinforces its footprint in the US with the acquisition of QC Laboratories

06-May-2015 - USA

Eurofins Scientific announced the acquisition of QC Laboratories (QCL), a leading full-service environment and food analytical testing provider, as well as a dairy testing reference laboratory, located 80 miles from Eurofins’ flagship Lancaster campus.

Founded in 1943, QCL employs about 200 staff and generates annual revenues of about US$ 20m across its 2 laboratories in Pennsylvania. QCL offers a broad range of analytical services to support both commercial clients and government agencies to comply with major federal and state regulatory programs. QCL’s food testing services include both microbiology and chemistry testing, with a strong reputation in the local market for dairy testing. In environmental testing, QCL’s analytical competencies include the full spectrum of testing services for compliance with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) programs.

QCL’s competencies complement Eurofins’ recognized capabilities and reinforce the Group’s growing US footprint, especially on the East Coast. Its addition into the Eurofins network demonstrates the Group’s commitment to expanding its presence and service offering in the US market. In return, QCL gains access to Eurofins’ robust network capabilities and the latest technologies to further improve its service offering to its customers, thereby further increasing market share.
