- ALS Limited provides testing, inspection, certification, and verification services across more than 370 sites in over 65 countries worldwide. Headquartered in Brisbane, Australia, and founded in 1863 as Campbell Brothers, the company renamed to ALS Limited in 2012 after divesting its legacy manufacturing operations to focus on laboratory and technical services. It operates through three primary divisions: Commodities, offering geochemistry, metallurgy, coal, mine site services, and inspection for the global mining industry throughout the resource life-cycle from exploration to rehabilitation; Life Sciences, providing environmental monitoring, food and pharmaceutical testing including stability studies, animal health, electronics, consumer products, and cannabis analytical services; and Industrial, delivering diagnostic testing, asset care, tribology, and engineering services for energy, resources, transportation, infrastructure, and transformer fluid monitoring sectors. ALS employs over 20,000 staff and serves clients in mining, pharmaceuticals, environmental consulting, food production, and regulated industries across Australia, Asia Pacific, North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. In 2025, ALS reported solid FY25 results with revenue reaching $3 billion, driven by Life Sciences growth offsetting softer Commodities activity, and launched a fully underwritten $350 million equity raising including a $40 million share purchase plan to fund a $230 million brownfield expansion of key hub laboratories in Lima, Sydney, Bangkok, and Prague, alongside $120 million for M&A and growth initiatives; recent acquisitions include US-based York Analytical Laboratories, Germany's Wessling Holding GmbH & Co., and Nuvisan in April 2024 to enhance drug discovery and clinical services, with integration on track ahead of schedule.
