Global Operations
ALS commenced operations in Brisbane as ‘Australian Laboratory Services Pty Ltd’ in 1974 as a privately owned company providing analytical services for the oil shale and mineral exploration industries.
In 1981, the company was acquired by Campbell Brothers Limited (now ALS Limited), a Queensland-based company first registered in 1863 and listed on the Australian Stock Exchange in 1952 (ASX:ALQ). ALS has to date demonstrated over 30 years of strong business performance with global revenues exceeding $1.2 billion.
The focus of ALS is in the provision of a broad range of sophisticated, state-of-the-art services to four main markets: Minerals (Geochemistry, Metallurgy, Mine Site and Inspection); Life Sciences (Environmental, Food & Pharmaceutical, Animal Health and Electronics); Energy (Coal and Oil & Gas); Industrial (Asset Care and Tribology), and to continue to remain at the forefront of the testing services industry, building an enviable reputation.
