Founded in 1983 in Maine, the company makes diagnostics for veterinary practices: in-clinic analyzers, reference laboratory testing, and practice management software, plus water and livestock testing. The model mirrors human diagnostics but sells into a fragmented market of small clinics, where placing an analyzer creates years of consumable purchases. Pet ownership growth and rising spending per animal have driven results, and the company holds a dominant share of companion animal diagnostics. Headquarters are in Westbrook, Maine.
