FOUNDING

Labstock Nigeria Limited is one of the oldest and most reputable scientific equipment supply companies operating in Nigeria today, having been incorporated in February 1971 (Registration No. RC-8160).

Nigerian and West African industrial and research laboratories using Labstock supplied equipment include those operating within pharmaceutical, petrochemical, refinery, manufacturing and environmental analysis domains.

Labstock was founded by Dr. Nathan Nwachuku, a former research scientist with Ph.D. in Botany from the University of Aberdeen, UK. Prior to forming Labstock, Dr. Nwachuku worked for 10 years as a senior lecturer in Botany in both Ahmadu Bello University and in the University of Ghana at Legon.

THE EARLY YEARS

During Nigeria's economic boom period of the seventies and early eighties, Labstock played major roles in supplying scientific instruments, laboratory equipment and chemicals to most of the old Nigerian university institutions, including: University of Ibadan, Ahmadu Bello University, University of Benin, University of Sokoto, University of Maiduguri and University of Nigeria.

In 1978, Labstock was awarded a substantial contract by the Federal Ministry of Education for the supply of laboratory equipment and chemicals to a total of 62 Federal Government Advanced Teacher Training Colleges located throughout Nigeria.

The successful execution of this major contract proved and established Labstock’s credibility and demonstrated the company's capability in handling big government procurement contracts requiring advanced logistical coordination and turnkey project management expertise.

By the late eighties and early nineties, Labstock strategically realigned its business to focus on Nigeria’s public and private sector industrial laboratories, many of whom are engaged in quality control analysis, research and development activities.
