Founded as a corporate spin-off from Hewlett‑Packard in 1999, Agilent has evolved through a combination of strategic restructuring and acquisitions to concentrate on life sciences, diagnostics and applied laboratories. In the 2010s the company refocused its businesses through a separation that resulted in a dedicated electronic measurement company, allowing Agilent to prioritize analytical and diagnostic technologies. Over time Agilent has expanded its capabilities and product lines to address increasingly complex analytical challenges faced by its customers.
Headquartered in Santa Clara, California, Agilent serves a broad international customer base across the Americas, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Asia-Pacific. Its customers include pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic and government research institutions, clinical and diagnostic labs, environmental and food-safety testing organizations, and industrial manufacturers. The company is managed by an executive leadership team and a board of directors that oversee its global operations and strategic direction.
