Acquisition strengthens STARLIMS’ position across regulated industries by integrating laboratory informatics with manufacturing execution, quality oversight, and production intelligence from R&D through commercialization.

STARLIMS announced the successful completion of its acquisition of the MODA® Platform from Lonza, marking a major strategic expansion of its portfolio into manufacturing execution and digital production operations for regulated industries.

The acquisition strengthens STARLIMS’ ability to provide an integrated, end to end digital ecosystem connecting laboratory workflows, quality management, and manufacturing execution within a unified platform. The move positions the company to support organizations across pharmaceutical, biotechnology, clinical diagnostics, food and beverage, chemicals, and other highly regulated sectors as they accelerate digital transformation initiatives.

Serving more than 2,000 laboratories globally, STARLIMS has built a strong foundation in laboratory informatics and quality driven data management. With the addition of MODA®, the company now extends those capabilities into manufacturing environments, enabling customers to bridge operational gaps between testing, quality assurance, and production execution.

The MODA® Platform brings an established presence across pharmaceutical, biotech, and CDMO organizations, with capabilities designed specifically for regulated manufacturing operations. The platform is recognized for supporting compliance intensive workflows, digital quality processes, electronic batch oversight, and production visibility across complex manufacturing environments.

“This acquisition represents an important milestone in our vision to deliver a truly connected digital platform for regulated industries,” said Spokesperson at, STARLIMS. “By combining STARLIMS’ expertise in laboratory informatics with the manufacturing execution strengths of MODA®, we are enabling customers to improve traceability, accelerate decision making, and strengthen quality management across the entire product lifecycle.”

By integrating laboratory and manufacturing data into a unified environment, organizations can reduce operational silos, eliminate disconnected workflows, and enable faster and more confident release decisions. The combined capabilities are expected to improve collaboration between QC, QA, and production teams while reducing manual handoffs and operational inefficiencies.

The acquisition also reinforces STARLIMS’ long term strategy to support next generation digital manufacturing initiatives, including automation, connected quality systems, and data driven operational intelligence from early research and development through commercial scale production.

As regulatory expectations and manufacturing complexity continue to evolve, the combined STARLIMS and MODA® offering aims to help organizations modernize operations while maintaining compliance, operational agility, and product quality consistency.

With this acquisition, STARLIMS further expands its role as a strategic technology partner for regulated industries seeking integrated digital infrastructure to support future growth, scalability, and innovation.
