- CellaVision AB (publ) (CEVI.ST) develops and markets digital hematology microscopy solutions that automate the analysis of blood and body fluid samples for laboratories worldwide; core products include advanced analyzers such as the DI-60 for high-throughput large labs and the DC-1 compact system for small and medium-sized facilities, reagents encompassing staining protocols, smear makers and stainers like RAL SmearBox and RAL StainBox, and software platforms for image analysis, remote access, competency testing, and artificial intelligence-driven cell classification. The company manufactures reagents in-house at its facility in Martillac, France, with analyzer production outsourced in Sweden. Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Lund, Sweden, CellaVision employs over 230 staff, maintains market support offices in 16 countries including the US, Canada, Japan, China, and several European and Asian markets, and serves over 40 countries through global partners, targeting healthcare providers handling human and veterinary samples.
CellaVision integrates hardware, software, and consumables into a recurring revenue model bolstered by its 2019 acquisition of RAL Diagnostics, which expanded sample preparation capabilities in hematology, microbiology, cytology, and pathology while adding vertical integration for quality control and new revenue streams. In 2024, the company marked 30 years of operations with sales reaching SEK 723 million and reported 14% organic growth in Q1 2025 driven by instrument sales in EMEA, alongside ongoing expansions like enhanced alliances such as with Sysmex Corporation to advance diagnostic technologies. Recent activities include the May 2025 Annual General Meeting approving a SEK 2.50 per share dividend, board re-elections, and share repurchase authorizations, reflecting sustained strategic focus on innovation and market penetration.
