MLM Medical Labs – Germany Awarded 6^th Consecutive CAP Accreditation for Service Excellence

MÖNCHENGLADBACH, GERMANY – March 11, 2025

MLM Medical Labs (MLM), a global leader in central and specialty laboratory services, announced today it has received notice of continued accreditation from the College of American Pathologists (CAP), the world’s largest organization of board-certified pathologists and a leading provider of laboratory accreditation programs, for its laboratory in Mönchengladbach, Germany.  The Mönchengladbach facility has been continuously CAP accredited since 2014, marking over a decade of successful accreditation.

During the CAP accreditation process, designed to ensure the highest standard of care for all laboratory patients, inspectors examine the laboratory’s records and quality control of procedures to ensure strict adherence to current best practices. CAP inspectors also examine laboratory staff qualifications, equipment, facilities, safety program and record, and overall management.

According to Dr. Stephan Voswinkel, Managing Director MLM Germany, “MLM Medical Labs is committed to delivering the highest quality, clinically actionable information and data to our clients in the clinical trials industry.”  Voswinkel added, “CAP accreditation is considered to be the most rigorous choice for lab accreditation, often exceeding the standards of state and federal agencies, and we are honored to have continued to maintain this approval.”

In addition to its CAP-accredited laboratory in Germany, MLM owns two accredited laboratories in the United States—one in Memphis, TN, and another in Minneapolis, MN. Both U.S. laboratories hold either CAP or CLIA accreditation, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance in laboratory services. These facilities further strengthen MLM’s ability to provide comprehensive laboratory solutions to clients worldwide.
