The company was founded in Birkenfeld in 1979. Stratec Biomedical AG was publicly listed (IPO) in 1998. The wholly owned subsidiary Robion AG was founded in Switzerland in 2005 and later renamed as Stratec Biomedical Switzerland AG. Sanguin International, Ltd., UK, was acquired in 2006 and renamed as Stratec Biomedical UK, Ltd.
