Babcock Laboratories is proud to share an important milestone in the evolution of our impressive history. As of March 12, 2026, Babcock Laboratories is officially certified as a Women's Owned Enterprise (WBE). 

This transition to Women-Owned Enterprise (WBE) status represents more than a designation, it reflects the continued progression of our 120-year legacy built on trust, integrity, analytical excellence and tailored service. It is a strategic step forward that strengthens our organizational foundation and positions us for long-term, sustainable growth.
 
As an employee-owned (ESOP) organization, Babcock Laboratories is powered by more than 114 employee-owners across project management, field technicians, sales, quality assurance, and operations. Our people are the engine of our performance, and our shared ownership culture reinforces the values that guide every client's interaction: lead with service, foster a safe environment, do the right thing, work together, find better ways, and own it.
 
This milestone reflects our commitment to inclusive leadership, operational excellence, and long-term partnerships. The trust we’ve built internally as employee-owners directly shapes the trust we deliver externally through Babcock Laboratories’ mission of safeguarding the public health and environment through our employee-owners consistently delivering error-free data on time.

If you have any questions or would like documentation related to our WBE certification, please contact your Project Manager if you have any questions.

Warm regards,

Dear Valued Client,

We are writing to inform you of an upcoming update to Babcock Laboratories’ pricing, effective April 1, 2026.

In 2025, when many organizations were navigating economic uncertainty and shifting budgets, Babcock Laboratories made an intentional decision not to implement a list price change. Our goal was to support our clients with stability during a volatile period while continuing to invest in the service quality you rely on.

At the same time, we advanced several operational initiatives that delivered measurable improvements for our clients. In 2025, we increased our on‑time delivery performance by more than 14%, achieving an on‑time rate of over 94%. This significant improvement reflects our continued investment in people, processes, and technology to ensure timely, accurate, and defensible results.

As we move into 2026, sustained increases in key cost drivers including labor, consumables, shipping, insurance, and critical laboratory technologies now require a pricing adjustment. Beginning April 1, our service rates will reflect a 7% update. We remain committed to a measured and infrequent approach to pricing changes, making adjustments only when necessary to support long-term service quality and operational stability.

This update directly enables ongoing investment in the areas most essential to our clients:

• High-performing technical personnel and dedicated project management support, ensuring responsiveness and dependable communication.
• Expansion of analytical service offerings aligned with evolving regulatory requirements and client needs.
• Advanced instrumentation and laboratory technologies that enhance data quality, strengthen turnaround times, and support consistent, on-time performance.

Dear Valued Client, 

This letter is to announce an important change coming to Babcock Laboratories’ service offerings. Extraordinary inflationary pressures related to supply chain issues, shipping cost increases, severe labor shortages, and compensation adjustments required to retain a skilled labor force necessitate changes to the cost of our services.

Commencing January 1, 2024, Babcock Laboratories, Inc. will implement a five percent increase in the price of analytical testing and sampling outlined in the Babcock Labs schedule of services. The new prices will apply only to work received for analysis on or after January 1st and will have no effect on samples and services covered under existing contracts and professional agreements.

Once again, services being rendered under current contracts and other agreements remain unchanged.

We have been—and continue to be—committed to safeguarding public health and the environment with our technical expertise.

We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future. The Employee Owners at Babcock Laboratories, Inc. thank you for providing us with the opportunity to be of service.

Sincerely,
Urvashi Patel | Vice President of Operations
