Dow Jones Description
Founded in 1952 and incorporated in 1957, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (referred to in this report as Bio-Rad, we, us, and our) was initially engaged in the development and production of specialty chemicals used in biochemical, pharmaceutical and other life science research applications. In 1967, Bio-Rad entered the field of clinical diagnostics with the development of its first test kit based on separation techniques and materials developed for life science research. Bio-Rad expanded into the field of analytical and measuring instrument systems through internal research and development efforts and acquisitions in the late 1970's and 1980's. In 1999, Bio-Rad acquired the stock of Pasteur Sanofi Diagnostics and the rights to certain ancillary assets. This strengthened our position in the HIV and infectious disease diagnostic product market. In 2000 and 2004, Bio-Rad divested its semiconductor, optoelectronic metrology and confocal microscopy product lines. In late 2007, we acquired 77.7% of the registered shares or 85.96% of the outstanding shares of DiaMed Holding AG. During 2008, we acquired additional shares of DiaMed, bringing our total ownership percentage to 93.46% at December 31, 2008. These acquisitions have enhanced our position in the immunohematology market.
