Eurofins is, by choice, not a typical centralised laboratory group. Instead, we are, by design, a hub of entrepreneurship. Each of our laboratories is usually an independent company led by an entrepreneur. Why? Because we believe in excellence for every customer and understand this is only possible when our laboratory leaders are empowered to make their own decisions in their own company and optimise their own services.
Each of our laboratories operates as a dynamic, market-driven business in its own right, managed by its own independent entrepreneurial leader. Our people are empowered, not micro-managed. They’re not afraid to take risks or do things differently.
We think it’s important to be where our customers need us, which is why you’ll find us at over 950 laboratories in over 1,000 companies across 60 countries spanning six continents. And we’re still growing, adding new capacity to keep pace with our customers’ needs.
A decentralised approach only works when a business has complete confidence in the judgement and competence of its leaders. Our people must combine scientific excellence with commercial awareness and be as comfortable at the lab bench as they are building the business. We look for leaders who thrive on the freedom to make their own decisions but understand the importance of teamwork. We’re entrepreneurs, who understand we’re stronger together.
