Eurofins announced that it has closed the acquisition of Alba Science as part of its long-term strategy to expand and strengthen its capabilities in cosmetics and personal care testing.

Eurofins' recent acquisition supports the 2021 strategy in multiple ways: expanding upon existing capabilities, enabling them to offer more clinical studies, insight and sensory evaluation, opening access to a significant UK panellists database and custom imaging system, and bringing them closer to local and regional customers.

Alba science is a Scottish company, headquartered in Edinburgh and employs 23 people.

This acquisition will enhance Eurofins' presence in the cosmetic testing market globally.
