Eurofins Scientific has signed an exclusive agreement to acquire PHAST Gesellschaft für Pharmazeutische Qualitätsstandards mbH (“PHAST”), one of Europe’s leading service providers in the field of pharmaceutical products quality.

PHAST is best known for its finished product testing business, where it serves as a strategic partner to medium and large (bio)pharmaceutical companies. PHAST provides pharmaceutical services with a focus on quality control (QC) testing of small and large molecules, and analytical development services.Headquartered in Homburg, Germany, and with additional sites in Constance, Germany, as well as in Switzerland, PHAST operates two state-of-the-art laboratory facilities totaling 6,000 m2, with ample space for expansion.

The acquisition of PHAST will complement Eurofins’ BioPharma Product Testing capabilities and expand Eurofins’ geographical footprint in these markets. The wide array of testing expertise acquired from PHAST will strengthen Eurofins’ BioPharma Product Testing portfolio. Eurofins is well-positioned to capitalize on the strong growth and the positive trends underlying the BioPharma industry, which also increasingly opts for outsourcing laboratory services.

Dr. Johannes Kraemer, founder and owner of PHAST, said, “PHAST as a service provider for the research-focused pharmaceutical industry has continuously grown to meet the challenges of the market. The current trend of outsourcing an increasing number of testing activities requires a consistent expansion of the spectrum of analytical services offered, as well as, additional laboratory capacity. By gaining access to the full range of services and capabilities of the Eurofins Group, PHAST will significantly increase its service offering to the benefit of its clients, and improve its market position in the highly competitive and quality-driven Pharmaceutical Product Testing industry.”

Dr. Gilles Martin, Eurofins chief executive officer said, “We are pleased to welcome PHAST, an expert in pharmaceutical product testing, to the Eurofins Group. PHAST’s competencies and footprint further strengthen Eurofins’ global scientific leadership in the growing biopharmaceutical product testing market. PHAST will reinforce the position of Eurofins in Germany and Switzerland. In return, PHAST will be able to offer additional services to their customers leveraging Eurofins’ global GMP network. We look forward to strengthening their portfolio and operating footprint by providing them access to the full range of services and capabilities of the Group. This transaction is another demonstration of Eurofins’ commitment to expand its global state-of-the-art network of BioPharma Product Testing laboratories”.
