Our beginning
‘What can I do to make a difference?’ asked William Sanguinetti - Founder & Director.
William, a fifth generation Australian, together with his wife Hilary, had a vision to revolutionise the way we provide laboratory and healthcare products to the marketplace. He was working in the diagnostics sector and wanted to use his skills in the wholesale sector to make a difference, create more personal service, relationship building, listening to the customer, searching for local manufacturers, seeking quality and innovation to benefit all Australians.
Inspiration
Sir Frank Macfarlane Burnet (1899 – 1985) was famous 1960 Noble Prize winning Australian virologist best known for his breakthroughs in immunology. Working at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institutes of of Medical Research, Melbourne University, Mac Burnet’s achievements are vast including creating the modern methods for producing influenza vaccines we produce today. He was made a Knight of the Order of Australia in 1978.
