A strategic partnership to ensure the long-term future of Laboratoires Réunis
Luxembourg, 1 July 2021 - Laboratoires Réunis Luxembourg S.A. is joining forces with the Biogroup group of medical analysis laboratories, which is acquiring a stake in Laboratoires Réunis following the retirement of Mr Udo Margraff after 15 years with the laboratory as managing partner.
The Managing Director of Laboratoires Réunis, Prof. Dr. Bernard Weber, has decided to join forces with Biogroup to ensure the long-term future of his company, which he has managed for more than 20 years.
Biogroup is the ideal partner for our laboratory, because it shares our values and opens the door to an international distribution network for analyses in preventive biology and personalised medicine, the disciplines of the future for the health of us all... Biogroup is a financially solid company which, like our laboratory, is synonymous with quality, innovation and speed.
Laboratoires Réunis remains under Luxembourg management and will continue to operate under the same name.
Prof. Dr. Weber will continue to lead the laboratory as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer with the same high standards and reliability, alongside Dr. Stéphane Tholl as Deputy Chief Executive Officer (deputy-CEO) and Hans-Peter Schönhofen as Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
"Laboratoires Réunis is a healthy, dynamic company with strong growth potential. We look forward to working with them", said Dr Stéphane Eimer, Chairman of Biogroup. By entering the Grand Duchy, Biogroup is pursuing its internationalisation strategy. As Dr. Eimer explains: "Maintaining the company's independence has always proved to be the key to success."
