Oxevia, a European group dedicated to bringing essential scientific solutions to research and industry, today announces that it has joined forces with Alfatest S.r.l., one of Italy's most respected names in analytical instrumentation and laboratory science.

Founded and rooted in Italy, Alfatest has built its reputation on something straightforward but rare: understanding exactly what customers need and making sure they get it. Whether supporting a research team tackling a complex characterisation challenge or helping an industrial customer qualify a new material, Alfatest's locally based team brings the knowledge, precision, and responsiveness that makes a real difference to scientific workflows. AlfatestLab, the company's cGMP-certified contract testing laboratory, extends this further - offering hands-on proof-of-concept support and analytical services in material characterization, bioscience and nanomedicine.

The partnership is aligned with Oxevia’s strategy of building a focused group of specialised companies within analytical and diagnostic solutions. Oxevia connects niche leaders across instruments, consumables, and services to create a stronger and more complete partner for research, clinical, and industrial applications.

Alfatest will continue to operate under its established brand, with its current organisation and leadership remaining in place. 

Valentino Polchi, CEO of Alfatest, says:

“Joining Oxevia is a natural next step for Alfatest. We have always believed that expertise, innovation and support are what set us apart - and that will not change. What changes is that we now have a long-term partner behind us who shares our ambition for this industry. Our customers and partners can expect the same dedication from our team, with even greater capacity to invest in the future.”

Sasha Hakami, co-founder of Oxevia, adds:

“We are proud of teaming up with Alfatest, a highly specialised company with a strong position in the Italian market and deep application knowledge. Oxevia is built to bring together companies like Alfatest into a broader ecosystem, where each company keeps its identity while gaining access to shared capabilities, expertise, and market reach.”
