Our Mission
LABREPCO is committed to exceeding the expectations of the scientific community and being recognized as the true solutions provider for laboratory equipment.
Established in 1978, LabRepCo, LLC is one of the largest and most respected consultative laboratory equipment sales organizations in the United States.
We serve a 20 state East Coast based territory, with regionally located sales personnel promoting all of our products. Additionally, we offer some of our strongest lines and consultative solutions nationwide with support provided by our inside sales team. LabRepCo serves customers across the spectrum of the scientific marketplace which includes the “traditional” pharmaceutical, biotechnology and government research venues as well as academic, forensic and industrial research laboratories. Our products represent a broad collection of laboratory appliances and instruments which we expertly dovetail with the specific needs of our customers. The “consultative” solutions we provide are our specialty and we encourage you to view testimonials which attest to the value and quality customers have discovered with LabRepCo.
Our 28 sales professionals are usually within an hour or two of any account to meet customer sales and service needs. Headquarters is located in Horsham, Pennsylvania and houses a team of 25 operations and support personnel who can assist via phone or e-mail with technical support matters as well as e-commerce related business.
LabRepCo initiated a turnkey program for the laboratory construction and renovation marketplace. Through the efforts of our dedicated Project Team, we coordinate directly with Architects, Lab Planners and Engineers during all phases of construction. Many firms hired to design and or build a laboratory have little or no experience in this highly specialized area and LabRepCo can provide access to unique and delicate equipment that meets specifications and fills a gap that can be difficult to fill. For a resume of projects we have managed and an opportunity to view the equipment LabRepCo has placed along with the scope of the work we have completed, please visit our Project Portfolio.
As of January 1, 2019, LabRepCo is now an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan), with 100% of the company’s stock being held by its employees. This positive change gives employees a financial interest in the success of the business, making the positive bonds between LabRepCo teammates, business partners and customers even stronger. The move towards an ESOP represents a very tangible way to reward those who have played, and will continue to play, a critical role in LabRepCo’s success further satisfying our customers.
