Summary
Fortress Diagnostics Ltd, based in Antrim, UK, is a small holding company with an active status, celebrating 25 years since its founding in March 2000. Employing 49 people, the company holds assets valued at £10,200,554. It operates from a real address, is overseen by four directors, and is ultimately owned by Fortress Group Holdings Ltd. The company regularly imports and exports miscellaneous chemical products, with 119 months of import activity and 59 months of export activity recorded, the latest in February 2025.
Fortress Diagnostics is a global provider of in vitro diagnostics (IVDs). The company develops, manufactures, and supports a wide range of clinical diagnostic tests from its ISO 13485-accredited facility in the UK. Through its global distribution network, it provides medical testing solutions to immunology, haematology, and serological laboratories in over 100 international markets. The company’s website showcases a diverse product range, including clinical chemistry controls, ELISA kits, rapid tests, and neonatal screening solutions. It also offers instrumentation and IQC/EQA programs. The company’s website also has a section dedicated to distributors, inviting interested parties to join its network.
Financially, Fortress Diagnostics Ltd presents a mixed picture. While cash reserves increased by a significant 75% to £690,000, net assets grew by just 10% to £11,000,000. Bank borrowings, however, decreased by 24% to £740,000. Trade debtors also saw a decline, falling 15% to £1,500,000. Creditors, on the other hand, increased by 11% to £490,000. The company’s small size (meeting two of three criteria for turnover under £10.2m, assets under £5.1m, and fewer than 50 employees) allows it to remain nimble, but the fluctuating numbers suggest potential challenges. The company is exempt from having an auditor, so the figures are unaudited. It seems like the company is doing well, but it needs to be careful.
Registered in Northern Ireland under the registration number NI038167, with a registered address at BT41 1QS, United Kingdom, Antrim, 9a The Technology Park.
