Environmental Science Corporation expands with lab acquisition and new service centres, and now claims to be the USA's largest single-location environmental lab
Environmental Science Corporation (ESC), has purchased A and E Analytica of Ashville, Alabama, and has retained the previous owner Michael Norris as the newest regional sale representative on its US marketing team.
This acquisition is the latest example of ESC's service partnerships with small to medium sized labs leading to an exit strategy for those operators in the face of difficult market conditions.
The firm has opened a new service center in Denver, and doubled both the space and staffing of its service center in Kansas City, expanding the Tennessee company's remote service centres for pick-up and delivery of sampling supplies to 25 locations across the USA.
Service centre expansions together with the construction of a new 1400m2 prep lab facility all further ESC's position as the largest, fully certified, single-location environmental laboratory in the United States, says the company.
ESC holds certification through numerous state and national programmes and claims to be the only environmental laboratory that is certified to perform work throughout the continental USA from a single facility. "Centralising our production concentrates our resources and gives us a big advantage over labs that operate from multiple locations," said Grindeland.
ESC is listed as one of the top ten US environmental laboratories in the Environmental Laboratory Washington Report.
