Eurofins Lancaster Laboratories Expands Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Research Operations

01/03/2026
Biopharmaceutical testing company Eurofins Lancaster Laboratories plans to expand its operations in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The $147.5 million project is expected to create 250 jobs over the next three years.

The investment will include the construction of an additional 300,000 square feet of laboratory and office space at the company’s existing 49-acre campus located in Upper Leacock Township.

“As one of Lancaster County’s largest employers, we are proud to expand our capacity and services for our global clients while offering outstanding career opportunities. This growth reflects the dedication and expertise of our team in building strong partnerships with the clients we serve,” said Neal Salerno, Senior Vice President, Eurofins BioPharma Product Testing, NA. “We are grateful for the support of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Eurofins Scientific’s commitment to funding growth that strengthens customer service and further expands the world’s most comprehensive testing network. Our long-term investments in this space set us apart and open exciting opportunities for the future.”

To support the project Eurofins Lancaster Laboratories received a funding proposal from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) for a $1.8 million Pennsylvania First grant and a $375,000 WEDnetPA grant to train its workers. The company has also been encouraged to apply for tax credits through the Qualified Manufacturing Innovation and Reinvestment Deduction (QMIRD) program, which could provide significant additional tax benefits.

“Eurofins Lancaster Laboratories is one of Lancaster County’s largest employers, and we’re proud to support their continued success here in Pennsylvania,” noted Department of Community & Economic Development (DCED) Secretary Rick Siger. “Life sciences is one of the key industries the Shapiro Administration is focusing on in the Commonwealth’s 10-year Economic Development Strategy because we know it’s a competitive advantage. Major business expansions are fueling the growth of this important industry while also ensuring the Commonwealth remains competitive and well positioned for long-term economic growth.”

Eurofins Lancaster Laboratories, part of the Eurofins BioPharma Product Testing network, specializes in the analytical testing services field, providing scientific solutions to the bio/pharmaceutical, environmental, food and medical device industries.

“Eurofins’ evolution from a locally rooted laboratory into a world-class leader in biopharmaceutical, environmental, and food testing demonstrates how collaboration between Lancaster County businesses and local educational institutions can strengthen efforts to develop and retain top talent, drive innovation, and compete successfully on a global scale,” added Ezra Rothman, President, EDC Lancaster County. “EDC Lancaster County is proud to support both Eurofins’ physical expansion here in the county, as well as its continued growth as a global leader in the life sciences sector.”
