Neogen Corporation NEOG

Company Overview

Neogen Corporation is a publicly traded company that develops and markets products and services focused on food safety and animal health, operating primarily within the agricultural, food production, and life sciences industries. The company’s core mission is to help prevent foodborne illness and improve animal health through diagnostic testing, biosecurity solutions, and veterinary products. Neogen generates the majority of its revenue from recurring sales of testing kits, diagnostic instruments, and consumable products used throughout the global food supply chain.

Neogen was founded in 1982 by James Herbert and initially focused on animal health diagnostics. Over time, the company expanded into food safety testing, building a diversified portfolio serving food producers, processors, and regulatory agencies. A major milestone in its evolution was the 2022 acquisition of 3M Food Safety, which significantly expanded Neogen’s scale, global reach, and product breadth, positioning it as one of the largest independent food safety testing companies worldwide.
