The origins of 1LIMS
Here is our story.
In 2016, Philipp Osterwalder, a seasoned lab technician with a background in biomedical analytics, transitioned from a pharmaceutical laboratory to a testing facility within a food and beverage manufacturing company. He noticed a glaring issue: unlike the automated processes in the pharma lab, quality control in the food and beverage sector relied on manual processes and paper documentation.
This inefficiency wasn't unique to just this sector. Around 80% of manufacturing companies worldwide were still operating with outdated, analog quality control processes. There was a clear need for a technology that could support quality control departments across various industries.
Thus, 1LIMS was born.
Our vision was to create a modern, intuitive, secure, and configurable product for quality control laboratories across different industries.
From a small startup, 1LIMS rapidly grew. Today, we serve manufacturing companies and service laboratories in Spain, the UK, Poland, Germany, Canada, and Switzerland, helping them move from manual to automated processes. Our adaptable methodology identifies inefficiencies in existing QC processes, while our customizable digital solution streamlines data management, boosting efficiency in quality control labs.
