Eurofins Completes the Acquisition of Element Materials Technology’s Life Sciences Testing Services Business in North America

LUXEMBOURG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

Eurofins Scientific (EUFI.PA) (Paris:ERF), a global scientific leader in bioanalytical testing, announces the successful closing of its acquisition of the Life Sciences Testing Services business in North America of Element Materials Technology (“Element”), which took place on 1 October 2026. The transaction was announced on 20 July 2026 for an enterprise value of USD400m.

The acquired business provides a range of Biopharma product testing, Environmental testing and Food testing services through a network of 27 laboratories and facilities. It employs approximately 750 staff and is expected to generate annual revenues of over USD150m in 2026, with profitability similar to the Eurofins Group average.

The acquired operations join Eurofins' BioPharma and Life businesses in North America and extend the Eurofins laboratory network into key regions of the United States and Canada where it has historically been underrepresented. Clients will gain access to the breadth of the Eurofins service offering, and the acquired laboratories will benefit from the economies of scale of Eurofins' established hub-and-spoke laboratory networks. The integration will be carried out with a focus on continuity of service for clients across all sites.

Comment from Dr Gilles Martin, Eurofins CEO: “We are pleased to welcome Element’s North American Life Sciences Testing Services teams to Eurofins. Together, we will build on our well invested, efficient and digital laboratories platform to deliver unique levels of service to customers across the continent.”
