    1983

    BioLogic’s corporate history dates back to 1983 when Yves Dupont, a researcher with the CNRS, a national French research organization, set about creating a company to commercialize measurement instruments in the fields of biochemistry, kinetics, and electrophysiology.

    1991

    Based in the Grenoble area, in the foothills of the French Alps, the company saw a period of sustained but controlled growth before a strategic move to focus on electrochemistry in 1991. A collaboration with two leading researchers, Yves Chabre (Grenoble-Alps University) and Christian Mouget (CNRS), led to an accumulation of know-how and the creation of the MacPile, the world’s first multichannel computer-controlled potentiostat. The MacPile was the precursor to the vast array of potentiostat/galvanostats now available on the market.

    1991-2000

    Commercially, the 1990s continued to be an important period for rapid-kinetics instruments. This led to the development of the VMP-3 potentiostat/galvanostat, an instrument which has since proven itself as a research “workhorse” in laboratories across the globe.

    2007

    A strategic shift to focus on energy storage applications in 2007 was the starting point for a period of rapid expansion. From 2007-2016, BioLogic set up six subsidiaries in the USA, India, Singapore, Spain, UK and Germany, and continued to expand its distributor network, in order to ensure that customers get the help they needed, when they needed it.

    2016

    The company’s success led to a move in 2016 to a new location combining both factory and office space. But as sustained growth continues, in 2022 BioLogic launched a project to extend its headquarters. An additional 1,900 m2 of laboratory and office space will be annexed in 2024, enabling the company to welcome its new employees with the best working conditions.
