Founded over four decades ago and headquartered in Kolkata, India, Tarsons distributes its products extensively across India and internationally.
In a major strategic expansion during the last two years, Tarsons completed the acquisition of the Hamburg-based Nerbe group, including Nerbe R&D GmbH and Nerbe plus GmbH & Co. KG, through its wholly owned subsidiary Tarsons Life Science Pte Ltd, effective January 1, 2024. This acquisition significantly enhances Tarsons’ international market penetration, especially in Europe, and expands its product line to include specialized plastic consumables for life science laboratories. The company is also developing infrastructure by acquiring 6 acres of land at Amta to establish a fulfillment center, radiation facility, and to scale manufacturing capabilities. Tarsons aims to leverage this expanded operational capacity and international footprint to increase exports to approximately 120 countries over the coming decade, underscoring its strategic shift towards global growth. It remains backed by ADV Partners, a global private equity firm.
Tarsons Products Limited remains focused on innovation and research and development to customize labware to precise scientific needs, maintaining a strong pan-India distribution network supported by a dedicated sales force. The company continues to emphasize quality, creativity, and service in delivering laboratory solutions geared to improve the accuracy and efficiency of scientific exploration and research.
