Notable facts
- Corporate lineage traces to 1863, when Scottish immigrant Peter Morrison Campbell founded a Brisbane soap-making business, Campbell Brothers; the laboratory-testing arm, Australian Laboratory Services, was only established in 1976 and acquired by Campbell Brothers in 1981, so the testing business itself is younger than the corporate entity's founding date. The parent was renamed ALS Limited in 2012.
- Listed on the ASX under ticker ALQ, with about 19,000 employees, A$2.421 billion revenue, and 350+ locations across 70+ countries as of 2023.
- Expanded internationally through acquisitions including Chemex Labs (1999) and Bondar Clegg (2001).
- Inducted into the Queensland Business Leaders Hall of Fame in 2012.
