Who We Are
Estendart Research Limited (ERL), a well-known entity, has recently undergone an evolution into a New Zealand-owned and operated, contemporary Contract Research Organization (CRO) with the same level of expertise.
Since its acquisition in 2024, ERL’s goal is to revamp and elevate the market understanding of this longstanding company while upholding its high standards of expertise, team collaboration, and excellence.
This marks an exciting path that ERL is embarking on, and we invite you to join us on this journey.
