About Us
Partners in Science, Not Just Vendors
For 15 years, Automation Link has been at the intersection of biotech innovation and global collaboration — equipping labs, guiding strategy, and forging partnerships that accelerate discovery.
Our Mission
Accelerating the science that changes lives
Automation Link was founded on a simple belief: the best science happens when the right tools, the right expertise, and the right partners come together. We built our company to be the connective tissue of the global biotech ecosystem.
From our headquarters in the San Francisco Bay Area, we serve pharmaceutical R&D labs, academic research institutions, and biotech companies across more than 50 countries — delivering precision equipment, strategic consulting, and the collaborative networks that turn research into results.
