Our History.

From life to knowledge.

Our history

Throughout its history, Helyx Industries has constantly evolved its supply chain, while remaining faithful to its mission: to seek to offer the most flexible solution available on the genetic analysis market. Today, the Group is a combination of two entities: Ulisse Biomed SpA and Hyris Ltd, which together integrate the entire stack of proprietary technologies needed to offer genetic testing solutions.


Over 20 years of experience

With over 20 years of experience working with leading players in biomedical systems, our founders have contributed to the development and transition to production of some of the industry's best-known products.

A unique journey

Since its inception, Helyx has carved out its own niche, distancing itself from both the 'standard but not so flexible' solutions and the more 'experimental but not so reliable' applications available on the market.

Versatile solutions

From botanical products to nutraceuticals, from human diagnostics to immunology, Helyx has always expanded into different sectors, providing cutting-edge solutions wherever health is at risk.


Today, Helyx leverages the experience of its leaders in marketing high-tech products to offer the development and implementation of targeted commercial strategies for its partners and customers, through careful account management and highly reliable technical support for customers ranging from small research centres to global Fortune 500 companies.
