BIOLAB Inc. was established in December 1991, as the first private company on the field of Hungarian microbiological market. The ownership pattern of our company encompasses 3 private entities. Our core businesses are the culture media and plastic disposable production and distribution and we also engage in the distribution of raw materials, fine chemicals and diagnostics.
Our company began to provide diagnostic services.
Our product range was expanded with import plastic disposables.
Giving up the import activity – our first facility for plastic disposables production was inaugurated.
The product portfolio was completed with a wide range of raw materials and prepared culture media.
We launched the dehydrated culture media product line.
Antibiotic susceptibility discs were introduced.
The manufacturing of irradiated plastic disposables began.
It was the first year when our company took part at MEDICA fair in Düsseldorf.
This year our products entered to foreign market, and the Biolab Inc. had its own exhibition booth in MEDICA for the first time.
We commenced to distribute a new product range, the fine chemicals. Our export activity was doubled. The further expansion of the company’s distribution network was based on the 2001 upcoming successful fair in Düsseldorf.
The income of the export was doubled again. The products of the company already reached the markets of four continents. Since the company outgrew its space, the owners decided to make a new investment. The construction of the new company headquarter (culture media laboratory – customer service warehouse – central office) was begun.
The project finished. Utilizing the conditions of the new building, the activity of the company management and the helpdesk was reorganized. The technology of the culture media production was also completely renewed.
The new, uniform media preparation facility was established, with accredited quality controlled, developer and supplier microbiological laboratory.
It was the year of the dynamic expansion of the export activity. We decided to make capacity development in the field of the Petri dish production, which first stage was successfully finished by the end of the year.
2006 was the year of quantity growth. The second stage of the Petri dish facility investment was finished.
This year brought new big investments. This time the area of the media production facility was doubled with a new floor. In this new floor the microbiological laboratory gained an ample space for its continuous development and a new plate pouring department was established with the cutting edge automats. In parallel with that the last stage of the Petri dish facility investment finished. The built-in capacity was increased up to more than 20 million pieces/year. It is a great success that we gained 25% EU support for that investment.
It was the year of energy concentration. We filled our reserves and made arrangements (negotiations, planning, etc.) for the 2009 investments which was grater than any previous.
During the most difficult months of the global economic crisis, our company – continuously trusting in its potency and future – began the construction of the new plastic producing facility. The development of a 1300m2 manufacturing building and robotic Petri dish manufacturing unit was structure-ready by the end of the year. For that project we gained 35% EU support.
