About the company
Kibion is a global leader in complete solutions for rapid reliable Urea Breath Tests for diagnosing the stomach ulcer bacterium Helicobacter pylori.
Kibion was founded in 2005, as a subsidiary of the Swedish pharmaceutical company Orexo AB, to create a clear focus for exploiting breakthrough discoveries in the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori.
In 2011 Orexo acquired the German company Wagner Analysen Technik GmbH, a leading manufacturer of IRIS™ instruments for analyzing diagnostic breath tests. Integrating these two businesses transformed Kibion into a complete solutions provider of diagnostic breath tests and instrumentation, and a leading player in Helicobacter pylori testing.
The 30th of April 2015, Kibion was acquired by a team of Swedish investors and business developers. Through this investment Kibion will strengthen its operations and continue to grow.
The 30th of September 2016, Kibion was acquired by the French company Laboratory Mayoly Spindler. This acquisition will strengthen both companies’ globally and generate outstanding synergies. Kibion is now successfully integrated in the Mayoly Spindler Group.
