Over the years, the company has expanded significantly and now positions itself as a world leader not only in food testing but also in various other fields including environmental testing, pharmaceutical and cosmetic product testing, discovery pharmacology, forensics, advanced material sciences, and agroscience contract research services. Additionally, Eurofins stands out as a major player in genomics and clinical study support, as well as BioPharma contract development and manufacturing. The company is also recognised as a leading global emerging player in esoteric and molecular clinical diagnostic testing. Eurofins operates over 1,000 laboratories across more than 50 countries, with its headquarters located in Luxembourg.

The company has been particularly prominent for its response to the COVID-19 pandemic, significantly expanding its testing capacity to include PCR and antibody testing services. This expansion played a crucial role in global public health efforts.
