Renowned industry expert Albert Pattison kick started the company in 2002 with a core mission to manufacture and supply the Manchester Capillary Reagent.
The Manchester Capillary Reagent is the first-choice solution for INR monitoring and a corner stone of our business.
In 2009, we relocated to our purpose-built headquarters at the Rivergreen Business Centre in Hartlepool. This move provided modern office space and advanced laboratory facilities, supporting continued growth and innovation in haemostasis testing and platelet function diagnostics.
Our Platelet Aggregation work was a shrewd business move for Hart Bio. It filled a gap in the market and enabled us to work with industry experts to create a full suite of testing capabilities for whole blood and plasma samples, putting us ahead of the competition.
We secured an exclusive distribution partnership with leading German medical diagnostics supplier Haemochrom Diagnostica.
The contract allows us to supply its platelet function and platelet aggregation reagent lines into several European countries.
We bagged a double honour, winning in both the Export and Innovation awards at the North East Business Awards in 2015.
We were the only organisation lucky enough to collect two trophies on the night.
We represented the UK at the International Society of Thrombosis, where we were joined by distinguished companies from more than 300 medical societies and government health agencies from 65 countries.
The conference called for hospital-based risk assessments for venous thromboembolism (VTE).
We've since moved this to a regular occurrence, aiming to attend each of the (now annual) ISTH events.
In 2017, Hart Biologicals enjoyed a multi award-winning year, receiving honours at both the North East Business Awards and the Made in the North East Awards. These accolades highlighted our ongoing commitment to excellence and innovation in the biomedical sector.
We’re seen as a pillar of the community in the region and in 2017 our founder Alby Pattison was awarded the Freedom of Hartlepool for services to the local community.
Alby received his MBE for services to international trade and the Tees Valley economy.
He received the award at a glittering ceremony at Buckingham Palace accompanied by his wife and family.
In 2018 we opened our 6th bespoke, humidity-controlled production lab. This gave us even more capacity and agility to support our expanding customer base.
All our facilities help our team to develop and control our products and processes with utmost precision.
In 2019, Alexander Ebinger succeeded founder Alby Pattison as Managing Director. Having joined in 2013 and served as Head of Research and Development, Alex played a key role in shaping the company’s global strategy. Under his leadership, Hart Biologicals continues to build on a strong legacy of quality, growth, and innovation in diagnostic instrumentation.
