QuidelOrtho is committed to developing mutually beneficial and successful relationships with diverse suppliers. We believe we have a responsibility to engage with businesses that reflect the diversity of our employees and communities.
As part of this belief, we’re committed to partnering with and expanding opportunities to diverse suppliers by incorporating them into the everyday process of category reviews and product or service bids. By identifying and promoting diverse suppliers, we’re able to deliver world-class products and services that enable healthcare providers to better treat their patients. Additionally, we’re an active member in the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council and National Minority Supplier Development Council.
At QuidelOrtho, we are a leading global provider of in-vitro diagnostics and have an established track record for providing high-quality products and services.
We have a very diverse supplier base and are searching for more diverse owned companies to help propel our business forward with new ideas, creative solutions, and exceptional customer service.
Why we’re committed to supplier diversity
