Global expansion Smithers is actively expanding its European footprint with increased Laboratory capacity in the UK and Northern Europe, signaling growth opportunities for cross-border medical device testing, regulatory consulting, and E&L services in new markets.

Regulatory expertise With capabilities across FDA, EMA, MHRA, USP, ASTM and ISO guidance, there is a strong value proposition for manufacturers seeking compliant testing and regulatory documentation, particularly in extractables and leachables for device and pharmaceutical products.

Strategic partnerships Recent collaborations with flexography and CannaMetrix highlight Smithers’ role in broader packaging and materials testing ecosystems, presenting upsell opportunities to customers needing integrated packaging, materials, and device testing solutions.

Industry engagement Active participation in industry events and forums, along with a dedicated business development manager for Europe, positions Smithers to capture leads from packaging, printing, and medical device sectors seeking pre-market validation and compliance testing.

Mid-market focus With revenue in the mid-market range and a specialized focus on medical device testing and E&L, Smithers can pursue mid-sized manufacturers and contract research clients looking for independent testing, accelerated regulatory readiness, and scalable lab capacity.
