Rich history

Labcorp acquired drug development provider Covance in 2015, creating a market leader in healthcare laboratory services. Covance itself was formed through a rich tapestry of capabilities and acquisitions, ranging from the 1925 formation of the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus to Hazelton Laboratories to Corning.

In July 2023, Labcorp spun off the clinical business, now operating as Fortrea, retaining the worldwide laboratory network to deliver laboratory solutions to the world pursuing breakthrough therapeutics.
