After long years spent in the bosom of Group Montedison, CARLO ERBA Reagents is again an independent group.
Dr Carlo Erba was born exactly in 1853 when the enterprising Milanese pharmacist who gave his name to the company decides to add a production laboratory. The company grew rapidly and by the death of its founder, in 1888, is already one of the jewels of the industry.
