Mr. Bernd Gleixner, President of the new Automation Division at Bruker BioSpin, and now Managing Director of Chemspeed, commented: “We are excited about the opportunities this acquisition brings, and we warmly welcome the excellent Chemspeed team to Bruker. Going forward, Chemspeed will continue to operate as a vendor-agnostic, standalone business within Bruker, maintaining its commitment to industry-leading automated laboratory solutions and customer service.”

As part of Bruker, Chemspeed is expected to be near break-even for the remaining three quarters of 2024, with approximately $10 million of revenue per quarter, as it transitions to US GAAP reporting and aligns with Bruker’s revenue recognition policies. By 2025, we anticipate Chemspeed to be 2-3 cents accretive to Bruker’s non-GAAP EPS. Going forward, we expect high-single digit to low double-digit organic revenue growth and steady, significant margin expansion. The Chemspeed acquisition is a testament to Bruker’s commitment to strategic expansion and innovation in the fields of automated R&D and QC laboratory solutions, lab digitalization and scientific software.
