Our company history

Dr Franz Käppeli (CEO of medica) took over the laboratory from Dr E. Lambelet in 1976. He led it as CEO until his death in January 2022.

Although the laboratory now boasts over 400 members of staff spread out across various buildings in the same district of Zurich, back then, there were just 10 employees. In 2007 the laboratory was taken over by Sonic Healthcare. Following the passing of Dr. Käppeli in January 2022, management has been taken over by Dr. Willi Conrad, who is now CEO. Dr. Conrad has been a member of the medica board of directors for a number of years.

Today, medica is one of the leading medical laboratories in Switzerland.
