Company description:
Unilabs is a leading European supplier of laboratory and radiology services to private and public health care units, government bodies, insurance companies, the general public and to parts of the pharmaceutical industry. Unilabs operates in twelve countries in Europe.

The Unilab group was established through the combination of Capio Diagnostics, established in Sweden in 1994, and Unilabs, a company established in Switzerland in 1987. Unilabs aims to be a leader in the European diagnostic services market, and will increase its market presence by providing a superior quality service and by playing an active role in the European consolidation.

Unilabs was taken private from the Swiss stock exchange in November 2007. The merger with Capio Diagnostic was completed in September 2008 and marks the formation of the leading diagnostic services company in Europe. Focus has been on integration of the two businesses, operational improvement and synergetic add-ons.
