In 1949, great things happened!
And… no, I am not only referring to the fact that my amazing mom was born this year! (Oops, a woman's age should never be revealed 😉)
In 1949, Carlo Bernardini - a young, brave, visionary, and enthusiastic engineer whom I had the pleasure to know - founded Tecniplast.
Starting as a small company dedicated to creating molds for plastic materials and molding technical products in the Varese province, Tecniplast has grown into the worldwide leader in preclinical research that everyone in the field knows today.
Many things have changed in the last 75 years - in the world, in business practices, and in how we interact and communicate - but one thing has remained the same: Tecniplast is, today as it was then, a family business.
Often, we hear that a Company cannot be considered a family, but rather, a team.
But what defines a family?
Dedication.
Time.
Support.
Many of us pour our hearts into our work, share experiences, spend countless hours together, and adopt an all-hands-on-deck approach in times of crisis (thank you for this, my amazing colleagues!).
Well, this is exactly what a family does: spends and enjoys time together, faces daily activities and challenges with passion, and provides support when needed.
So yes, at Tecniplast, we are more than a team.
We are a family.
And for me, it’s a privilege to be part of a family company where every member is not just a unit but is valued like family.
Here’s to the next 75 years - now the legacy is in our hands!

This May, we proudly celebrate the 75th anniversary of Tecniplast Group and the 100th anniversary of our founder Carlo Bernardini’s birth. With this graphic, we honor his memory and highlight our continuous commitment to excellence and innovation in the Laboratory Animal Science industry.
Founded in 1949, Tecniplast has grown into a global leader while staying true to its family roots and it is currently managed by Alessandro, Edoardo, and Pietro, the three sons of Carlo.
Tecniplast proudly continues to operate as a family-owned business, driving our mission, preserving our core values, and pioneering the spirit that has defined us for decades.
We owe our success to the dedication and hard work of our incredible team, the support of our partners, and the trust of our clients. Together, we have built a legacy that stands the test of time, and we look forward to continuing this journey with the same passion, commitment, and determination that have brought us all here.
𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞 𝗬𝗢𝗨 to everyone who has been a part of our story.
Together, let's celebrate 75 years of family values, innovation, and excellence!

Exciting news! We're thrilled to introduce our newest venture: HawkCell! 🌟
From the picture, it's clear that CEO Alexis Girin holds a special place in his heart for pets. His favorite motto, "Anything is possible with focus, determination, and excellent talents harmony," sums up what HawkCell is all about:
🐾 HawkCell is on a mission to change animal #healthcare worldwide by using MRI technology made specifically for vets.
🩻 They combine easy-to-use software solutions with smart #AI. This means better diagnoses and research in vet medicine.
💰 MIG Capital has led a €5 million Series A financing for the Lyon-based healthtech startup.
Andreas Kastenbauer, Partner at MIG Capital (and proud dog owner), said: “𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘦-𝘰𝘧-𝘢-𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘷𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘦-𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩, 𝘏𝘢𝘸𝘬𝘊𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘴.

Accelerating the world's transition to 100% animal free testing. Founder & CEO of XCellR8 - GLP in vitro testing lab for cosmetics and chemicals 🧫 | Scientist | Animal Advocate & Campaigner | Wildlife Enthusiast
Can you help us to replace animal tests with better science?
Here at XCellR8, we’re always thinking about innovative ways to maximise our impact, to accelerate the world’s transition to 100% animal-free testing. We’re a small lab with a big dream and a hugely talented team of young scientists. But R&D is very expensive and our dreams are bigger than our budgets! 😊
To help make our ideas for animal-free, better science a reality, we’ve been lucky enough to receive funding from Innovate UK, the EU Horizon 2020 programme and Animal Aid. To help us do more, we’re launching our very first crowdfunding campaign to accelerate progress in our work to replace cruel and outdated LD50 tests with our in vitro models for human acute toxicity.
We are enormously grateful for the incredible amount of support for XCellR8 in the general public, as well as our wonderful industry network. We know there’s a lot of love out there for XCellR8 and we’re asking you to help! 🙏 The campaign will also be on our social media and you can read all about it in the link below. If you can support in any way, and share the campaign, this would be hugely appreciated. We also welcome industry and NGO partners to sponsor this and other projects! 😊
Thanks in advance for helping us to play our part in making a world free from animal testing a reality.
