Founded in 2007
Microchem was established by Raymond Hartley in 2007 when he bought the Woolworths in-house laboratory. In 2009 Microchem acquired Consulting Microbiological Laboratory (Pty) Ltd (CML) situated in Benoni Gauteng and changed the name to Microchem, Gauteng Branch. CML was a well known microbiological laboratory, the acquisition allows for greater opportunities to service Microchem’s Gauteng clients who require microbiological services. Initially Microchem focused on routine microbiological and nutritional analyses. However, clients increasingly looked to Microchem to enhance the offering in terms of range and sophistication of tests.
