Thermo Fisher Scientific is an American multinational, biotechnology product development

company, created in 2006 by themerger of Thermo Electron and Fisher Scientific.[1][2] In April 2013,
after a competitive bidding with Hoffmann-La Roche,[3] Thermo Fisher acquired Life Technologies
Corp for $13.6 billion in a deal that would rank the firm as one of the leading companies in
thegenetic testing and precision laboratory equipment markets.[4][5][6]

Predecessors and merger[edit]


Thermo Electron was co-founded in 1956 by George N. Hatsopoulos and Peter M Nomikos.
Hatsopoulos is a MIT PhD in mechanical engineering and Nomikos a Harvard Business
School graduate.[7] It focused on providing analytical and laboratory products and services, and had
revenues of over $2 billion in 2004.[8]
Fisher Scientific was founded in 1902 by Chester G. Fisher from Pittsburgh.[9][10] It focused on
providing laboratory equipment, chemicals, supplies and services used in healthcare, scientific
research, safety, and education.[11]
On May 14, 2006, Thermo Electron and Fisher Scientific announced that they would merge in a taxfree, stock-for-stock exchange; the merged company was named Thermo Fisher Scientific.[12] On
November 9, 2006, the companies announced that the merger had been completed.[12] However,
the Federal Trade Commission ruled that this acquisition was anticompetitive with regard
tocentrifugal evaporators, requiring Fisher to divest Genevac.[13] In April 2007, Genevac was sold to
Riverlake Partners LLC[14] and the merger closed with FTC approval.[15]
Currently, the company's products are sold under the brand names of Thermo Scientific, Fisher
Scientific, and several other recognized brand names (e.g. Chromacol, Nalgene, Cellomics, ColeParmer, Pierce Protein Research and Fermentas). According to company figures, 46% of its sales
are in life sciences, 20% in healthcare, and 34% in industrial/environmental and safety.[11]
Thermo Fisher has offices and operations in many countries, notably the U.S. and in Europe.
In May 2011, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. bought Phadia to expand in testing for allergies
and autoimmune diseases for 2.47 billion ($3.5 billion) in cash purchase.[16]
