New England's Largest Environmental Lab Acquires Boston Analytical

Alpha Analytical (www.alphalab.com) is announcing the completion of acquisition of Boston Analytical, Inc.

Established in 1987, Boston Analytical (www.bostonanalytical.com) is a registered, cGMP compliant contract testing laboratory providing quality analytical and microbiological testing services to the pharmaceutical, biotech, device, cosmetic and nutritional products industries.

Boston Analytical will retain its name and its entire existing staff. Gary Feinstein, chief executive officer, and Robert McBride, president of Boston Analytical, will continue in their existing roles.

Alpha Analytical president Mark Woelfel commented, "The reputation of Boston Analytical fits perfectly with the quality reputation of Alpha Analytical. This combination, along with the strengths exhibited by both companies in customer service, reliability, and project turn-around-time, will enable the delivery of product and service enhancements to meet the needs of all customers."

Although the economic climate of the past year has proven to be quite challenging, Alpha Analytical has seen increases in revenue, new hires and an overall surge in growth and financial stability during this period. This acquisition adds to Alpha Analytical's existing portfolio of testing and analytical services and at the same time, expands Alpha into the growing life sciences industry.
