Life sciences standards, diagnostics, and analytical solutions for global labs and regulators
LGC operates a manufacturing and services business spanning measurement science, genomics, and analytical standards across 14 countries. The hiring mix—operations-heavy with meaningful manufacturing, sales, and research teams—reflects a capital-intensive, compliance-driven model. Current projects cluster around production expansion (Berlin site, new facilities) and ERP modernization (IFS adoption, asset management strategy), while pain points center on GMP compliance, supplier qualification, and process validation—typical for a regulated lab-services company scaling operations.
