The TestAmerica laboratory in Corpus Christi, Texas recently completed a long-term 20 year lease renewal agreement at the North Padre Island Drive facility, solidifying TestAmerica's commitment to the South Texas business community.

On the heels of this investment, TestAmerica made a number of facility renovations, including a new roof and duct work. A number of cosmetic projects were also completed giving the facility a new and updated design. Over $375,000 in capital investments have been made towards new instrumentation and facility improvements within the past year. "These investments were made to meet growing client demand for testing services. We have seen sustained increases in demand for organic and inorganic testing services, as well as for our microbiological support for Enterrococcus. Through this strategic investment, we have increased our testing capacity in these areas to address the critical on-time delivery needs of our clients," said Amelia Kennedy, Laboratory Director.
