HISTORY / CORPORATE MISSION

History

When North Coast Laboratories (NCL) was founded in 1975, its primary function was to perform water quality analyses for the local timber and pulp industries. NCL gradually expanded into a full service environmental laboratory with a national client base and a reputation for expertise in the analysis of difficult and unusual pesticides and herbicides. This expertise allowed the laboratory to expand its capabilities in 1987 to include the analytical portion of agricultural chemistry studies.

Corporate Mission

NCL is committed to providing scientifically sound analytical results while maintaining a relatively small organization that can effectively respond to the needs of each client. The complex regulatory and technical requirements of environmental testing and agricultural chemistry studies demand the personal attention NCL offers.
