Our story
Over forty years of laboratory expertise
Clinisys was founded in 1988 by William Woodard and a group of pathology specialists passionate about providing better software for pathology services. William and his team then invested decades building the expertise that today makes the labs of over 3,000 customers around the world run efficiently and productively.
1990s: Breakthrough innovation
Building on our strong private sector pathology expertise, we delivered our first specialist laboratory information system (LIS) to the UK’s National Health Service in 1992.
2000s: sustained growth
With a substantial customer base in both the public and private sector, the business acquired Torex Laboratory Systems and MIPS in 2005 to create Europe’s largest LIS supplier. In 2011, we launched our Logistics Management Solution extending our ability to offer end-to-end sample traceability.
The industry leaders driving our business forward
Our executive leadership team features senior industry experts with decades of experience delivering laboratory solutions across the world.

2020s: adapting to global challenge
Responding to the Covid-19 pandemic, Clinisys developed innovative solutions to increase test capacity at a nationwide level across key countries in Europe to help tackle the evolving situation. Alongside this, we continued innovating to extend our capabilities in providing solutions supporting areas such as tissue typing and newborn screening.
Start of a new era
In 2022, Clinisys made two further acquisitions, HORIZON Lab Systems and ApolloLIMS, which saw us extend into new markets and territories. At the same time, we announced our merger with, Sunquest a major US-based healthcare technology provider.
These rapid steps created one of the world’s largest organisations dedicated to diagnostics and laboratory informatics.
