Founded in 1870 and headquartered in Göttingen, Germany, Sartorius AG operates globally with production sites and sales offices in Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, serving key markets in the United States, China, and Europe. The company segments its business into the Bioprocess Solutions division, which generates the majority of revenue through equipment and consumables for upstream and downstream bioprocessing, and the Lab Products & Services division, focused on precision instruments for laboratory applications. It maintains subsidiaries such as Sartorius Stedim Biotech for single-use technologies and Sartorius Lab Instruments & Services for lab equipment.
In recent developments, Sartorius AG expanded its bioprocessing capacity through the 2024 acquisition of Polyplus, a transfection reagent provider, enhancing its upstream cell line development offerings, and formed a strategic partnership with Danaher's Cytiva unit in 2025 to co-develop next-generation continuous manufacturing platforms for biologics. The company also launched the Sartorius BioAnalytics portfolio expansion with new Octet SPR systems in early 2025 and secured a €200 million funding commitment for its Göttingen campus expansion to support cell and gene therapy production amid rising demand. These moves reflect Sartorius' strategic shift toward integrated end-to-end bioprocessing solutions and strengthened its position in the fast-growing advanced therapies market.
