A leading producer of complete blood test systems

Phadia was acquired by Triton Fund I in April 2004

Phadia develops, manufactures and markets complete blood test systems to support the clinical diagnosis and monitoring of allergy, asthma and autoimmune diseases. It is the market leader in its field having serviced several of its key customers for over 30 years.

The majority of the workforce was located in Sweden and Germany, where the company operate three manufacturing sites. Its Swedish production sites focused on allergy testing and allergy supply and the German site produced diagnostic tests for autoimmune diseases. Both diagnostic segments were supported by a comprehensive R&D function. Triton acquired Phadia from Pfitzer, a pharmaceutical-multinational.
