The company GEM Laboratories was registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission in Nigeria (CAC) and officially established in 1992 primarily for general diagnostic tests, with just two staff – Medical Director and a receptionist.

In 1994, barely two years it had grown to fairly large outfit, with the inclusion of sales and marketing of reagents & consumables. In conjunction with most hospitals especially in Onitsha, it formed a network of side laboratories for most hospitals, which exist up till today.

GEM Investments Ltd was established in 1996, this arm took care of sales of items like new and fairly used Ultrasound scanning machines. Thus, we started exploring the relatively unknown Ultrasound scan machine market in Nigeria and sold various models of Ultrasound scan machine alongside its accessories and spare parts for Dormed – a German Company now rebranded Sysmex, based in Hamburg.

We started marketing reagents and products for different International companies around the world such as DFI Korea, Orphee Medicals, Austria Micros, Zhongke, Meiling, Viva Check Laboratories, RAL 555 Diagnostics et cetera.

In the year 2003, our company was certified as the sole representative for Partec GmBH – a Germany based company specializing in HIV and ARV therapy and detection Flow Cytometer (FCM) for CD4, CD3, CD8 cells and CD4% enumeration in HIV and ARV therapy/monitoring, malaria and TB diagnosis.
