The acquisition aligns with Labquality’s international growth strategy and enables Labquality to enter and grow its business in Sweden.
The acquisition enables Labquality to expand market coverage in the Nordics further. “QAdvis fits perfectly into our Labquality family, complementing our regulatory affairs and quality management business. In fact, the acquisition will significantly grow our regulatory affairs services offering. Particularly, their experience and competence in medical device software will further strengthen our position in the digital health market. Additionally, QAdvis is well connected to national and EU regulatory bodies and committees”, says CEO Juha-Pekka Nuutinen from Labquality.
“With Labquality, we form an excellent platform for our teams to further grow and support the medical device industry. We are convinced that this platform will be very valuable for our combined client bases. Labquality has an established and highly valued regulatory affairs expertise and a clear strategy to take its business to the next level. Becoming a part of Labquality enables us to combine better and leverage our quality and regulatory affairs services to the Nordic and international markets. We look forward to working within the Labquality team”, concludes Robert Ginsberg, the CEO of QAdvis.
The acquisition strengthens Labquality’s position as an expert services provider for the health technology industry.
