“This combination is a pivotal milestone in our strategy to manufacture the full array of products supporting the entire anatomic pathology workflow,” said Sung-Dae Hong, CEO of StatLab. “Our partnership with Diapath will provide an opportunity to expand their equipment brand throughout global markets, including the U.S. The combination will also enhance StatLab’s European market access for slides, cassettes, and printers, driving our product innovation and manufacturing excellence to the next level.

Headquartered in Martinengo, near Bergamo, Italy, Diapath was founded in 1997 by Vladimiro Bergamini. Over the past 27 years, focused investments have enabled the business to expand beyond consumables manufacturing and into the design, development, and production of a variety of core histology instruments.

In addition to their strong Italian presence, Diapath’s subsidiaries support focused growth of Diapath products to laboratories in Germany and France.
“The decision to join StatLab is driven by our shared commitment to growth and innovation to meet customer needs,” said Vladimiro Bergamini, CEO & President of Diapath. “Our combined company will be uniquely positioned to further expand Diapath’s brand and business, together transforming the anatomic pathology market through innovative development and manufacturing.
