POLARIS Laboratories® Expands into Canada with New Fluids Analysis Lab in Edmonton
EDMONTON, ALBERTA - POLARIS Laboratories®, one of the three largest fluid analysis laboratories in the United States, has expanded business operations into Canada with the opening of its newest testing laboratory in Edmonton, Alberta. The 4,000 square foot facility is the company's fourth to open since its headquarters began operations in Indianapolis in 1999. It opened laboratories in Houston in 2003 and in Salt Lake City in 2006.
According to POLARIS Laboratories® CEO Bryan Debshaw, Canada shares strength in several of the markets POLARIS Laboratories® has been successful in across the United States and Mexico.
“Establishing a global presence is definitely a part of POLARIS Laboratories®' plan for growth,” Debshaw said. “The strength of Canada's oil and gas, mining, construction and transportation industries, as well as its close proximity to our US operations, were major factors in the decision to expand into Canadian markets first.”
POLARIS Laboratories® specializes in testing and analyzing oils, fuels, coolants and water-based industrial fluids for equipment reliability. The company currently supports more than 60 private label fluid analysis programs for customers that include Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Kendall, Ingersoll Rand, Terex, MTU and Cummins Filtration. It services more than 50,000 customers in 15 countries worldwide.
POLARIS Laboratories® Indianapolis, Houston and Salt Lake City are ISO 17025 A2LA accredited facilities, the highest level of quality attainable by a testing laboratory backed by the most stringent accrediting body in the industry. The Edmonton facility will begin preparing for undergoing the ISO 17025 A2LA accreditation process in 2009.
POLARIS Laboratories® has been among the Indianapolis Business Journal's top 25 fastest-growing privately-held companies in Indianapolis four times and was named by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce Indiana's 2008 Small Business of the Year.
