Milestones

Milestones/Timeline - History of Bioline Global today.

1961

Bioline Global started

Bioline Global started in humble beginnings as Edwards Laboratories by Reg Paulsen and his son Eric, supplying consumables and equipment to laboratories around Australia

1980

The Supplier

Edwards Instrument Co and Edwards Medical Supplies had developed into 2 divisions, supplying imported laboratory equipment and medical equipment.

1985

The Manufacturer

The manufacturing arm of Edwards began, manufacturing shakers and incubators, started in 1985 set up under Tony Paulsen’s guidance, bringing the 3rd generation of Paulsens into the business and along with it the skills of a fitter and machinist. This is when the name Bioline was born with the capital equipment.

2009/2010

Edwards Group Developed

Edwards group developed, incorporating Bioline Global and Edwards under one banner as separated divisions. The 4th generation of Paulsen were beginning to filter in.

2013

Bioline Separated

Bioline separated, becoming its own entity, solely focussed on the equipment Tony continued with overseeing manufacturing and working with the highest quality overseas suppliers, inputting his knowledge to provide the best equipment for the Australian market.

2018

Australian Defence

Tony was approached by the Australian Defence through SAAB to bring a suitable fridge/freezer to supply the defence force with vaccines and medical supplies when in deployment. There was nothing quite suitable in the world, so Tony started from scratch and developed a highly durable, portable fridge freezer for the Australian defence force, which is still being used today.

2022

Warehouses Moved

Bioline Global moved warehouses to bigger premises to make room for expansions.

2025

Bioline Global has acquired

Testimonials

What Our Customers Say..

We were thoroughly impressed with Tony and the Bioline team. They were highly professional, and they kept us informed throughout the installation of our new RO system. The system has performed flawlessly since it was commissioned, and Tony has been excellent about answering any questions we've had. We also appreciate that they use a local company for servicing and don't lock us into expensive proprietary replacement filters. We highly recommend Bioline for any new or replacement RO water system.

Bioline Global were easy to deal with and went above and beyond to make sure the autoclave we chose worked in our space. Very impressed with the Systec front loading autoclave we purchased too

Dr Rachel Self

Laboratory Coordinator | Queensland University of Technology

Bioline Global's technical assessment saved us from purchasing equipment that wouldn't meet our sensitivity requirements. Their recommended system performs 40% better and costs 20% less than our original choice. The installation was flawless and training complete.
