Thermo Fisher Scientific

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. was formed on November 9, 2006, through the merger of Thermo Electron Corporation and Fisher Scientific International Inc. [1] The companies presented the combination as a way to join Thermo's instrumentation capabilities with Fisher's laboratory-products and services business, creating a broader supplier for life, laboratory and health-science customers.

Thermo Fisher's 2025 Form 10-K says the company serves pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, hospitals and clinical diagnostic laboratories, universities, research institutions, government agencies, and industrial and environmental customers. [3] Its portfolio includes instruments, reagents, consumables, laboratory supplies, software and services under brands including Thermo Scientific, Applied Biosystems, Invitrogen, Gibco, Fisher Scientific, Unity Lab Services, Patheon and PPD. [3]

The company reports four segments: Life Sciences Solutions, Analytical Instruments, Specialty Diagnostics, and Laboratory Products and Biopharma Services. [3] The filing describes applications ranging from biological and medical research, genomic analysis and bioproduction to chromatography, mass spectrometry, electron microscopy, diagnostic testing, laboratory procurement and contract biopharmaceutical services. [3]

For fiscal 2025, Thermo Fisher reported $44.556 billion in revenue and said growth was led by the Laboratory Products and Biopharma Services and Life Sciences Solutions segments. [3] It also reported growth in pharmaceutical and biotechnology and industrial-and-applied markets, with lower academic-and-government demand and declining China revenue. [3]

The worldwide headquarters is at 168 Third Avenue in Waltham, Massachusetts. [4] In China, Thermo Fisher opened a Suzhou manufacturing facility in 2012 and announced a 2020 expansion in Suzhou that added an Asia-Pacific single-use bioprocess-container production base and a China innovation-center branch, linking the entity to the Suzhou High-tech Zone record in this directory.
