Sparks Lab Supplies rebrands as Scientific Laboratory Supplies (SLS) 

01 Aug, 2025

Scientific Laboratory Supplies (SLS) has announced the official rebrand of Sparks under the SLS name and visual identity, which became effective in July 2025. This strategic move marks the full integration of Sparks into the UK and Ireland’s leading independent supplier of laboratory products, following its acquisition in December 2022.

The rebrand reflects SLS’s commitment to unifying operations across the Republic of Ireland, enhancing service capabilities, and strengthening resilience in a post-Brexit environment. By consolidating under the SLS brand, customers will benefit from increased efficiency, access to wider product portfolios, and continued local support, all whilst enjoying the scale, infrastructure, and innovation of a market leader.

“This is more than a name change, it’s a commitment to futureproofing our services and unlocking greater value for our customers,” said Ian Roulstone, Managing Director. “SLS is known for exceptional customer service, and this transition enhances what we can deliver across Ireland.”

The phased transition has ensured there is no disruption to services, with Irish-based teams continuing operations from the Dublin site. All staff have been retained, and a recruitment drive is underway to strengthen support further.

Regional Sales Manager Warren Jardine added, “This move simplifies our structure, improves delivery times, and strengthens our offering for Irish customers. Sparks built a great foundation - SLS now builds on that legacy.”

Customers will begin receiving communications under the SLS branding, with all contact details remaining the same.
