On Friday, 29 September 2023, GD Group signed the share purchase agreement in relation to the entire share capital of Animal Health Laboratories (Ireland) Limited.

This Irish company offers an extensive range of laboratory services to large animal and equine vets, industrial stakeholders and farmers. They also offer advice on disease testing and herd health issues. The knowledge and expertise of Animal Health Laboratories fits very well with the offerings of the other companies of the group and GD Group’s ambition for further international growth. The lab is based County Cork, the southernmost and largest county in Ireland.

Ynte Schukken, CEO of the GD Group: “The diagnostics Animal Health Laboratories offers in Ireland for livestock farmers and veterinarians shows many similarities with the services offered by other subsidiaries of GD Group. We see opportunities for synergy. This acquisition also marks the first step in veterinary diagnostics in Ireland in a region with many cattle and sheep. It will be GD Group’s first subsidiary in Ireland.”
