Arizona Tribune - Pace(R) Awarded 2025 Environmental Business Journal Business Achievement Award for Mergers & Acquisitions

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA / ACCESS Newswire / January 28, 2026 / Pace^® Analytical Services, the preferred provider of regulatory testing and analytical laboratory services, and a Division of Pace^®, a Science and Technology company, announced today it has received a Business Achievement Award from the Environmental Business Journal (EBJ) for its four strategic acquisitions in 2025 expanding its national footprint and service capabilities.

Pace^® received recognition for the acquisitions of Micron Environmental Labs and Patriot Labs in California, DCM Laboratories in Colorado, and Quantem Laboratories in Oklahoma. These facilities not only increase testing capacity and provide additional testing capabilities but strengthen the company's ability to serve local communities. This was particularly evident during the California wildfires where the proximity of one of the acquired locations provided quick results for public health decision making. Laboratory testing services gained through these acquisitions include Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) testing and analysis using x-ray diffraction (XRD) technology and Food Safety microbiology testing services.

"Our continued investment in expanding our Building Sciences portfolio strengthens our commitment to serving our clients and communities," stated Greg Whitman, President, Pace^® Analytical Services. "By bringing together specialized expertise, we're ensuring that the world around us is safer, healthier, and better protected. Each of these four acquisitions improves our ability to respond swiftly to our clients' demands and support critical health and safety decisions across the nation. We are honored to be recognized by EBJ for our efforts."

Together, these acquisitions enhance Pace^® Building Sciences' robust portfolio of services for evaluating and mitigating health hazards in the built environment, complemented by the team's broader expertise in areas such as water management planning, cleanroom certification, USP testing, ASSE 12080 training, and healthcare consulting.
