Balis is a company originally started in 1981 as a manufacturer of diagnostics for microbiological research in laboratories. We were soon asked to carry out microbiological tests for different industries like food, feed and cosmetic industries. In 2014 Balis was split in two companies: Balis laboratorium VOF Production of diagnostics) and Balis Micro bv (microbiological and chemical analysis).

In 2018 these two companies became part of Ariana Holding GmbH.
