In the beginning...
Veritas Laboratories was founded in October of 2004 by Bruce Cunningham and Stan Van Wagenen. Bruce and Stan had both previously been employed at another local environmental laboratory for over 10 years and eventually decided to put their knowledge, expertise, and cumulative experience together and start their own laboratory. Since its humble beginning as “two guys and a GC,” Veritas Laboratories has expanded to 3,000 square feet and multiple analytical departments featuring many state-of-art instruments. Veritas Laboratories currently employees 7 highly trained and dedicated laboratory personnel with a combined 125 years of environmental laboratory experience.
