About Us

We are a Europe-wide laboratory group with over 2,500 employees in more than 30 locations. AGROLAB is one of Europe's price-performance leaders in agricultural, environmental, water, food and feed analysis. There are also historical reasons for this. We were the first laboratory to use a division of labour based on industrial processes - and we still do. We also relied on IT from the outset: something we take for granted today, but which was a real innovation in the mid-1980s. Finally, AGROLAB has always provided excellent customer service before, during and after the analysis.

The desire to be effective and precise defines our work. Only in this way can we fulfil our mission: AGROLAB offers its customers fast, reliable and robust analysis at the best possible price/performance ratio.

"When AGROLAB was founded in 1986, I had a clear vision: I was missing a sense of service orientation, predominantly at governmental laboratories. I wanted to offer customers a privately run laboratory with highly dependable analytical services that were always on schedule and reasonably priced. My concept was to organise the analytical activities in a similar way to industrial processes, whilst systematically employing IT as a supportive mechanism.

 

And so, along with my first three employees, I converted a former village school into our first laboratory for agricultural analysis. We were soon expanding, and by 2006 I had moved the company headquarters to Bruckberg. Today, the AGROLAB GROUP has over 2,500 employees at more than 25 affiliates across Europe. The laboratories specialise in different areas, but all work to the same standards by using state-of-the-art analytical technology and sophisticated organisational processes. I take a certain amount of pride in referring to AGROLAB GROUP as the European market leader in the provision of value-for-money services to agricultural, environmental, water, food and feed analysis.

 

But we won't rest on our laurels - quite the contrary, in fact!"
