Dow Jones Description

Harvard Bioscience* is a global developer, manufacturer and marketer of a broad range of specialized products, primarily scientific instruments and apparatus, used to improve life science research at pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, universities and government laboratories worldwide. We sell our products to thousands of researchers in over 100 countries through our direct sales force, our 1,100 page catalog (and various other specialty catalogs) and our website, and through distributors, including GE Healthcare (formerly known as Amersham Biosciences), Thermo Fisher Scientific and VWR. We have sales and manufacturing operations in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Austria with additional sales facilities in France and Canada. Our goal is to become a leading provider of tools for life science research and to increase shareholder value. Our strategy is to have a broad range of highly specialized but relatively inexpensive products that have strong positions in niche markets within life science research: We believe that having a broad product line reduces the risk of being dependent on a single technology;

Harvard(1) Bioscience was founded in 1901. Frustrated by the poor quality of equipment then available, Dr. William T. Porter began manufacturing his own high quality physiology teaching equipment in the basement of the Harvard Medical School. Dr. Porter went on to found the American Journal of Physiology and became one of the leading physiologists of his day. His equipment gained an enviable reputation for quality and reliability and began to be known simply as the Harvard Apparatus. The name stuck. In the early 1980's the company started using the name Harvard Bioscience and in 2000 we officially changed the name of the company to Harvard Bioscience, Inc. In 1996 the current management team took over the company and expanded the product offering and improved growth and profitability. We completed our initial public offering in December 2000. Both we and physiology have come a long way in 100 years. Today we are a leading worldwide supplier of scientific instruments used in drug discovery applications. Our products are used across a broad spectrum of both well established and cutting edge applications and are used by the world?s top pharmaceutical and biotech companies.
