OPERON is a family-owned company based in Aragon, founded in 1973 in the city of Cuarte de Huerva, Zaragoza. It started as a small lab focused on research and development in the field of immunochemistry. It was a pioneer in Spain in launching a rapid pregnancy test. By then, it already had extensive experience in the manufacture of polyclonal antibodies, later monoclonal antibodies, as well as in direct latex agglutination tests. The company began its export activities in 1976 and continues to this day, exporting to more than 60 countries with a workforce of more than 80 people. The company will soon move from its historic location in Cuarte de Huerva to its new headquarters at the Zaragoza Logistics Platform (PLAZA), where it will continue its expansion project in a building that will double the current surface area.
The organization’s hard work, perseverance and vision for the future have made it a benchmark in the biotechnology sector in Aragon, Spain and worldwide, and it is widely known for the quality of the products and services it offers.
