MINNEAPOLIS, July 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Pace Analytical, a company of over 2,000 employees and a leader in environmental and life science testing, is announcing today that they have acquired ESC Lab Sciences, further solidifying their position as the top American owned and operated environmental testing firm in the United States.

Peter Schulert, former CEO of ESC and now in an executive role at Pace, stated "ESC chose to join Steve Vanderboom and the Pace organization because of our respect for their long-term vision and commitment to investing in their people, technology and facilities. Steve is the first person to fully understand ESC's strategy in making long-term investments in new technology in order to provide superior service rather than competing as a commodity.
