Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced a new organizational structure to accelerate the company's operational transformation to drive higher growth through a market-focused, customer-centric enterprise strategy. The new structure, including new leadership roles, takes effect immediately. 

 

"This is an important step in our transformation to become a nimbler company that puts our customers and our markets first," said Agilent President and CEO Padraig McDonnell. "It builds on Agilent's legacy of success and evolves our business to further strengthen our performance, sharpen our focus, and accelerate our market-focused solutions."

 

The New Structure

The new structure organizes Agilent's businesses according to its end markets and customers. It will enable closer collaboration among the business groups and better execution on cross-division, customer-first priorities.  

 

Below are the three new business groups:

· Life Sciences and Diagnostics Markets Group (LDG) represents 38% of Agilent's revenue and is primarily focused on Agilent's pharma, biopharma, clinical, and diagnostics end markets.

LDG provides a comprehensive portfolio of leading technology platforms and solutions to serve Agilent customers' value chain — including research and discovery, development and scale-up, production of therapeutics, and development of critical cancer diagnostics.

LDG includes liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry instrument platforms, cell and biomolecular analysis, specialized CDMO services, pathology, companion diagnostics, and genomics.

 

· Applied Markets Group (AMG) represents 20% of Agilent's revenue and is primarily focused on the food, environmental, forensics, chemicals, and advanced materials markets

AMG will focus on growing Agilent's leadership in these markets and accelerating growth in new areas of the market.

AMG includes gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, and vacuum technology platforms.

 

· Agilent CrossLab Group (ACG) represents 42% of Agilent's revenue and is focused on supporting our customers in all our end markets.

ACG will accelerate and strengthen customer connections across all Agilent end markets. The group is uniquely positioned to leverage its comprehensive portfolio and capabilities. This will further enhance the installed base of instruments with targeted workflows and applications that drive critical outcomes and productivity in labs.

ACG includes services, software and informatics, automation, and consumables.
