Founded to close the gap between global instrument manufacturers and the laboratories that depend on them across Africa and the Middle East.
Our Story
Built By Engineers Who Understand Laboratories
SymetrixLab Africa was founded to give laboratories across the continent access to the same OEM-standard equipment, calibration rigor and engineering support available in Europe and North America — without the long lead times.
Today we work across government, academic, clinical and industrial laboratories in 24 countries, combining certified refurbished instrumentation with AI-driven predictive maintenance and a regional network of factory-trained engineers.
