Eurofins Scientific

Eurofins Scientific is a global scientific testing and analytical services company, providing product safety, authenticity and quality verification to industries including food, environmental testing, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, agroscience, and wine and beverage authenticity. These are heavily regulated sectors in which documented testing and verification underpin compliance and market access. The company was founded in 1987 in Nantes, France, and now operates in 60 countries through a network of more than 1,000 independent companies, employing over 65,000 scientists and professionals.

The firm began with a single service: SNIF-NMR®-based wine origin verification, built on analytical technology developed by the founder's parents. That method remains part of a portfolio now spanning more than 200,000 analytical methods across areas such as analytical chemistry, NMR spectroscopy, food testing, environmental testing, and pharmaceutical testing. The company has grown substantially from a founding team of three to four employees, in large part through strategic acquisitions.

Stated priorities include a commitment to quality, continuous innovation, and the application of rigorous scientific testing to industries that require reliable results. Nearly four decades after its founding, the company positions itself as a world leader in testing services.
