Bio 7

Bio 7 is one of the largest biological city lab groups in the Paris area. It was founded at the beginning of the 2000s through the combination of several small labs in Essonne (Paris area). Well before structural shifts in the bio lab market at the end of the 2000s, the group had put in place a professional organisation which allowed both a high quality of service and exceptional profitability.

Value creation

In 2009, with Chequers as a committed shareholder, the group embarked on an ambitious consolidation of the market around Paris. In 5 years, almost 50 labs were acquired with group sales and profits multiplied by 8 over the period. Bio 7 became a leader in the Paris area with a set of brand new and highly performing technical platforms as well as well-designed governance for biologists.
