SYNLAB UK & Ireland:

SYNLAB Acquires Lextox

Published: 1st August 2017

SYNLAB, the leading provider of medical diagnostic services in Europe, announced the acquisition of Lextox Drug and Alcohol Testing based in Cardiff.

Lextox Is an ISO 17025 UKAS accredited laboratory specialising in hair drug and alcohol testing. Lextox offers a broad range of services and is the trusted choice for over 7,000 solicitors and local authorities across the UK. In addition to hair drug and alcohol testing, Lextox experts provide Analysis and Expert Reports for courts, solicitors and local authorities involved in family law cases and child care proceedings.

SYNLAB was attracted to the Lextox business due to the dynamism of the company and the management team, its high quality service provision and strong value added strategy, as well as its complementary offering to that of Abergavenny based SYNLAB Laboratory Services.

The acquisition further extends SYNLAB’s repertoire of drug and alcohol testing services in the UK, offering growth opportunities for both companies, as well as deepening both the company’s expertise and customer offerings in existing and new markets.
