ALS is the world's leading testing, inspection, certification and verification company, based in Brisbane, Australia. Serving various industries globally, we employ over 15,000 employees in 65 countries. Australian Laboratory Services P/L started as a geochemistry laboratory in 1976 in Brisbane (Australia) to serve the country's mining companies. Five years later, it was acquired by Campbell Brothers Limited, which began a journey of expansion, taking ALS into the ranks of the largest and most respected commercial laboratory services companies in the world. After rapid growth and diversification in Australia in the 1980s, ALS expanded into Asia and South America, then North America, Africa and Europe in the early 2000s and the Middle East. In 2015, ALS Global acquired Tribolab (SP) in Brazil, and in 2017, Oilcheck (MG); making ALS Global the owner of the largest database in the South American market and the one with a specialized team in the Tribology segment. The following year, the operation was unified in Belo Horizonte, obtaining a more complete and updated fluid analysis laboratory.
