FILAB’s commitment at the service of industry and its analytical challenges
Since 1979, our ambition has been to “make matter talk” in order to support manufacturers with their analytical challenges.
More than just a testing laboratory, we position ourselves as a committed partner, providing tailor-made support in organic and inorganic chemistry as well as materials characterization. With over 140 employees, a 5,200 m² facility, and 98% of services performed in-house, we have the resources and expertise to meet the needs of even the most highly regulated industries.
Our commitment and the trust of our clients are built on strong values, recognized expertise, and preserved independence.
Our commitment and values
Filab’s commitment is embodied in values that guide both our decisions and our client relationships:
Integrity and trust: we do what we say, and we say what we do. This transparency strengthens client confidence and ensures unbiased results.
Independence: for more than 40 years, Filab has cultivated its independence to act impartially. This independence is supported by diverse in-house skills, a wide range of instruments allowing 98% of analyses to be performed internally, a family shareholding structure ensuring financial autonomy, and management rooted in integrity, trust, and safety.
Safety, responsibility, and accessibility: we operate in a secure environment with strict procedures to protect your samples and our teams. We never make promises we cannot keep and always remain open to discussion to find suitable solutions.
CSR policy: our social responsibility is structured around four key areas: sustainable development (waste sorting and recycling optimization), safety (regular training and incident monitoring), social/HR (improving working conditions and promoting equality), and communication (internal transparency and a shared code of conduct). This approach has earned us a gold medal for CSR commitment.
These values, shared by our teams, guide our daily mission: to provide reliable services and build lasting trust with our clients.
Recognized expertise and advanced technical capabilities
Filab brings together PhDs and engineers specialized in chemistry and materials, covering a broad range of fields.
With 5,200 m² of laboratory space and continuous investments, 98% of services are carried out internally.
Today, we support over 2,200 clients in France and abroad, across sectors such as medical devices, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, biopharmaceuticals, aeronautics, energy/nuclear, luxury goods, metallurgy, and plastics. In the field of PMUC analyses, we serve more than 100 recurring customers.
From quality control (physicochemical analyses, materials characterization) to expertise (failure analyses, thermal studies, E&L testing), R&D support, and regulatory consulting, we provide comprehensive solutions. This allows manufacturers to centralize their needs with a single partner—a guarantee of responsiveness and reliability.
Accreditations and approvals: A guarantee of trust
The trust of our clients is also founded on official recognition of our expertise:
ISO 17025 accreditation, covering a wide range of analyses and techniques.
Customer approvals: SAFRAN group qualification, FRAMATOME approval, EDF PMUC approval for halogen and sulfur analyses, and Dassault Aviation approval obtained in March 2025.
Research Tax Credit (CIR): renewed until 2026, enabling clients to benefit from R&D tax deductions.
These accreditations and approvals guarantee strict regulatory compliance and confirm the reliability of our methods—providing reassurance to our partners.
CSR and independence: building trust
Independence is at the heart of our strategy, ensuring impartiality in our analyses and eliminating external influence. It is based on:
A stable shareholding structure, ensuring freedom in our investments and development.
A corporate culture rooted in integrity, trust, humility, accessibility, and safety.
In-house expertise and equipment, enabling us to perform over 98% of analyses internally.
Strict ethics, ensuring results are interpreted without economic pressure.
For our clients, this independence translates into reliable and objective results, high confidentiality, and increased responsiveness. It also fosters the growth of our teams by valuing their expertise.

We operate across diverse sectors:
Healthcare: medical devices, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and biopharmaceuticals, with services accredited to European Pharmacopoeia, USP, and ISO standards.
