Everlife Holdings acquires Research Instruments Group

The RI investment comes on the back of three other recently completed transactions in Malaysia and Singapore in the last two months

Everlife Holdings, a leading market access and distribution company in India and South East Asia, has announced the completion of its acquisition of Research Instruments Group, a leading provider of scientific and laboratory instrumentation in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.

The RI investment comes on the back of three other recently completed transactions in Malaysia and Singapore in the last two months. The other companies, Medigene, Analisa Resources and Scientific Resources, are well-established players in clinical diagnostics, analytical and life sciences with portfolios highly complementary to RI’s.

Everlife already commands a leading position in the region, particularly in the clinical diagnostics space in Malaysia, the Philippines and India. The recent transactions will allow the company to consolidate products and enter synergistic segments in analytical and life sciences, while also gaining a foothold in geographies like Thailand and Vietnam. RI and the other investments are highly strategic for Everlife and indicative of an ambitious push to boost presence and product offering within one of the fastest-growing regions in the world. Despite the COVID pandemic, South East Asia GDP growth has shown robust recovery and is expected to return to pre-pandemic levels in 2022. In Singapore, where RI headquarters are located, the government has identified research and development as a strategic priority since the 1990s and continues to be a key pillar of Singapore’s plan to be an innovation-driven and knowledge-based economy.

Raman Gandotra, CEO, Everlife, said, “RI embodies what Everlife looks for in companies and they have become one of the leading names in the laboratory business by consistently offering superior products and services to their customers and principals. I am thrilled to welcome the RI team to the Everlife family, and look forward to working together to advance our common vision to Enable Better Outcomes in our region.”

Gregor Kent, CEO, Research Instruments, also commented, “I am impressed with the success Everlife has achieved in the region and I believe that RI will benefit from the experience, professionalism and resources of a large multinational group, including marketing, IT, HR and a rigorous compliance team. We are excited to be part of Everlife and to achieve even greater heights with their support.”
