Hamburg/Hamburg, January 16th, 2020. Food quality throughout the entire supply chain and integrated digital solutions: These are the key elements of nuTIQ GmbH, the newly founded subsidiary of the GBA Group. Now that the service portfolio of the GBA Group has once again been expanded, as of today customers can inquire about services regarding the quality control of national and international food supply chains.

Effective immediately, you can now also reach us at our new laboratory site on the 3rd floor of the “Centre for Biotechnology and the Environment” (Zentrum für Biotechnologie und Umwelt – ZBU II). In the first step, we are establishing REM analysis. This will enable us to complete the analyses of asbestos and artificial mineral fibers even faster, which is especially advantageous when measuring ambient air.

Hamburg/Mönchengladbach, September 5th, 2019. Last year, biomess Ingenieurbüro GmbH, located in Mönchengladbach already became part of the GBA Group. Now, biomess Ingenieurbüro GmbH has merged with GBA Gesellschaft für Bioanalytik mbH (GBA).

The merger is based on the GBA Group’s very strong development on the market for asbestos analysis as well as the very close cooperation between the GBA locations that are involved. From now on, the ability to directly access a shared IT environment and to work together with a single quality management system will create even better conditions for further expanding our asbestos analysis, for example at our location in Berlin.

Hamburg, July 5th, 2019. The GBA Group has acquired IVARIO GmbH & Co. KG, the operator of www.wassertest-online.de, which is the leading online platform in Germany for drinking water testing for end consumers. With the merger, existing and potential customers will benefit even more directly from the expertise of the GBA Group in the future. Furthermore, for the GBA Group and IVARIO, this lays the cornerstone for the cooperative development of further online test services for private households in Germany and Western Europe. IVARIO was founded in Hamburg by Saskia Gerber, Sascha Zielinski, and Söhnke Mücke in 2013. Today the company is Germany’s leading online provider of drinking water analyses for consumers. With IVARIO’s environmental tests, the company made it its task from the very beginning to provide consumers with a pragmatic, inexpensive possibility to conduct tests of their surroundings on their own and have them analyzed for harmful substances.

Hamburg, June 26th: Thirty years ago today, on June 26th, 1989, the doctor and chemist Dr. Erich Döllefeld, MD-PhD, founded GBA Gesellschaft für Bioanalytik mbH. This young company started off providing a reasonable range of environmental analyses. While still in the beginning phases, this range of services was continually expanded, and food analysis soon became an equally significant second pillar. In the course of the ongoing strategy laid out by the shareholders and management, the company initially started its successful expansion throughout northern Germany in 2007 and later entered the market for pharmaceutical analysis. Today, 30 years after its foundation, the GBA Group is one of the leading providers of laboratory services in Germany and Austria in the fields of food, environmental, and pharmaceutical analysis, and furthermore is one of the most dynamically growing companies in this business.
