ABOUT LASEC LABORATORY PRODUCTS
For over 75 years Lasec® has been supplying quality, dependable solutions and services to the laboratory and scientific community. One of the first laboratory product suppliers to expand beyond South Africa's borders, we have been meeting customers' needs throughout Africa for over 35 years.
OUR STAFF
Our 410-strong staff complement includes more than 80 scientifically trained and qualified personnel who bring years of practical laboratory, engineering, and teaching experience to your aid.
TRAINING
On-site installations are accompanied by customer training on the correct use and maintenance of equipment. Our scientists keep abreast of the latest technologies and trends, allowing us to offer informative and practical training courses, many of which are CPD-accredited (continuing professional development).

Our buying power means you can get the highest quality product at the most competitive price.
With warehousing facilities in Cape Town, we hold stock of a broad range of products, including consumables and instruments. This extensive stock-holding reduces delivery times of key products across our markets

THE LASEC® GROUP RESPONSIBLE SOURCING POLICY
Lasec® sources components or raw materials, products, and services from an extensive network of domestic and international manufacturers and suppliers and further supplies final products and services to multiple countries.

Global Compact, derived from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Labour Organisation’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and the United Nations Convention Against Corruption. The policy is also aligned with our core values.
