Our client, SSI Diagnostica Group, is a clinical diagnostic company with a mission to help prevent, monitor, and diagnose clinical diseases through our quality portfolios of Reagents and IVD Diagnostic products and solutions. We are a carve-out from the Danish Serum Institute, now owned by a private equity fund. Our heritage is as strong as our purpose: to enhance vitality and health in societies around the world.

We are founded on the success of strong organic growth and acquisition of 3 clinical diagnostic companies. We recently signed off a new 5-year strategy for the group embarking on a journey to become one global IVD Diagnostic powerhouse.
