Annual Report 2019

Fiscal year 2019 was a strong year for the global life science market, and Eppendorf was able to take advantage of the positive dynamic growth in this sector. Overall, the Eppendorf Group’s business development was very good. The company was once again able to participate in the global growth trend in the life science and diagnostics industry, and in many places even managed to exceed the market trend by a wide margin and thus gain additional market share. Nearly all of the Group’s divisions and all regions developed positively, generating total sales of €803.9 million (prior year: €729.2 million). In comparison with the same period last year, this corresponds to an increase of 10.2% (prior year: 5.6%).
