Eurofins

Eurofins provides scientific testing and analytical services to verify the safety, authenticity and quality of products across a wide range of industries. Founded in 1987 in Nantes, France, the company began with three or four employees and a single proprietary technology, SNIF-NMR®, a nuclear magnetic resonance method developed by the parents of Gilles Martin to establish the origin of wine. Nearly four decades later, that wine-authenticity technique has grown into a global testing business serving the wine and beverage, food, environmental, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and agroscience sectors.

The group employs more than 65,000 scientists and professionals and offers over 200,000 analytical methods. Its technical capabilities span analytical chemistry, NMR spectroscopy, food and environmental testing, pharmaceutical testing, authenticity and origin verification, and quality assurance. The company describes an unwavering commitment to quality and an emphasis on continuous innovation as central to its work.

Eurofins operates through a network of more than 1,000 independent companies across 60 countries. Growth has come largely through strategic acquisitions, and the group now regards itself as a world leader in testing services.
