EuroProxima is the new name for Euro-Diagnostica B.V., the company that became independent from the Euro-Diagnostica group through a management buy out on the 1th of November, 2008. Euro-Diagnostica was set up in 1992 following a merger between three Swedish companies and Euro-Diagnostics, a research driven biotech company founded in 1982 in the Netherlands. After the introduction of several successful product lines in the nineties, the development of Euro-Diagnostica was boosted by the introduction of a unique test for Rheumatoid Arthritis and the introduction of high quality test systems for the control of feed and food products. With the growth of the organization the Human Diagnostics and Food Safety activities were split in two separate units. Apart from Food Safety and Animal Health products EuroProxima has also incorporated the Histology line, antibodies for Pathology and Research.
