In recent major developments, Instituto Hermes Pardini S.A. was acquired by Fleury S.A. in a transaction completed in April 2023, valued at approximately BRL 2.4 billion. This strategic acquisition positions the combined entity as a leading diagnostic medicine group in Brazil and Latin America. In 2024 and 2025, the company has pursued further business integration and expansion, including the acquisition of a 99% stake in CSV Central Sorológica de Vitória for BRL 17.8 million and the merger of CIP - Centro de Infusões Pacaembu Ltda., aiming at cost reduction and business synergy enhancement. Additionally, Hermes Pardini continues to structure innovation programs to enhance its diagnostic and analytic capabilities.
Instituto Hermes Pardini operates 124 diagnostic centers across key Brazilian states and maintains an extensive lab-to-lab service offering that includes specialized tests, consulting, training, and support services. It employs approximately 7,500 people and is recognized as a reference in diagnostic medicine in Brazil. Besides its operational footprint in Brazil, the company has broadened its portfolio through subsidiaries and brands that provide forensic toxicology, veterinary diagnostics, cryopreservation, and vaccination services, targeting a diverse client base of healthcare providers and corporate customers within the medical diagnostics industry.
