The brand covers laboratory equipment such as CO2 incubators, ultra-low temperature freezers, biological microscopes, and related instruments used in pharmaceutical research, biotechnology, and clinical diagnostics. PHC Holdings describes itself as a global innovator in healthcare solutions, creating precision products that support healthier and more active lives. The PHCbi name emerged from the former Panasonic Healthcare business, which was carved out of Panasonic Corporation and later rebranded under PHC Holdings. The group operates worldwide, serving research institutions, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies. Its product lines are known for reliability and precision in temperature-controlled storage and cell culture applications. PHC Holdings is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and continues to expand through acquisitions and organic growth in the life sciences and diagnostics sectors.

PHC Holdings Corporation traces its origins to the healthcare business of Panasonic Corporation, which was spun off and later became Panasonic Healthcare Holdings. In 2013, the private equity firm KKR acquired a majority stake in Panasonic Healthcare, and the company began operating as an independent entity. The business continued to develop and manufacture medical devices, laboratory equipment, and diagnostics products. In 2018, the company rebranded as PHC Holdings Corporation, and its life sciences segment adopted the PHCbi brand. The PHCbi name is used for products such as CO2 incubators, ultra-low temperature freezers, and biological microscopes, which are sold globally to research and clinical laboratories. PHC Holdings expanded through acquisitions, including the purchase of Epredia (a diagnostics company) and other healthcare assets. In 2021, PHC Holdings listed its shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, further establishing its presence as a public company. The group continues to focus on precision healthcare products and solutions, with a stated mission to support healthier and more active lives.
