What Jones & Henry Laboratories does

Jones & Henry Laboratories is a privately held environmental testing laboratory headquartered in Northwood, Ohio, operating continuously since 1970. The company delivers accredited analytical testing services for drinking water, well water, storm water, wastewater, hazardous waste, soils, and microbiological samples, using EPA-approved procedures including Atomic Absorption, Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP), Gas Chromatography, Mass Spectrometry, Wet Chemistry, Microbiology, and specialized low-level mercury analysis under EPA Method 1631E. It is Ohio EPA state-certified for drinking water analysis and participates annually in the NPDES Discharge Monitoring Report-Quality Assurance (DMR-QA) Study Program. The laboratory operates a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) that tracks every sample from intake through completion with real-time client visibility.

The company's service portfolio spans five testing categories (drinking water, storm & wastewater, hazardous waste, soil, and microbiological) plus field services encompassing on-site monitoring, automated 24-hour composite sampling, NPDES support, Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) testing, and sample collection. Lab-to-client logistics are handled by a fleet of eco-friendly vehicles dispatched daily across Ohio, with dedicated project managers assigned to each client. Methodologies include RCRA hazardous waste characterization (ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, TCLP for 39 compounds) and SW-846 soil chemistry protocols covering volatiles, semivolatiles, metals, pesticides, PCBs, and anions.

Commercially, the company sells per-sample and per-project testing services under a quote-based pricing model with no publicly disclosed pricing. Customer acquisition runs through a website quote request form, direct outreach to consulting engineers, industrial manufacturers, and government regulatory agencies, and embedded field service relationships. The customer base is vertically diverse, spanning municipal governments, public water systems, industrial manufacturers with NPDES permit obligations, environmental consulting engineers, commercial property owners, and homeowners. The company is geographically restricted to Ohio, with no disclosed expansion plans, external funding, or M&A activity.

Broad incumbents

• ALS Environmental: ALS Environmental is a major U.S. environmental testing services provider with broad analytical capability in water, wastewater, soil, sediment, and air matrices. Comparable to Jones & Henry for NPDES, drinking water, and hazardous waste testing, but operating at a significantly larger national scale.
• Bureau Veritas North America: Bureau Veritas is a global testing, inspection, and certification firm with U.S. environmental lab operations covering water, wastewater, soil, and waste streams. It is comparable to Jones & Henry for industrial compliance testing, particularly for manufacturers seeking a single audit-grade vendor.
• SGS North America: SGS operates a global testing, inspection, and certification network with U.S. environmental laboratory services covering water, wastewater, soil, and waste characterization. It competes with Jones & Henry for industrial compliance testing accounts, especially from multi-site manufacturers.
• Eurofins Environment Testing (USA): Eurofins Environment Testing operates a national network of environmental labs providing drinking water, wastewater, soil, and emerging contaminant analysis. As a global testing giant with overlapping scope, it competes for the same industrial and municipal compliance accounts that Jones & Henry serves in Ohio.

Emerging players

• EMLab P&K: EMLab P&K (now part of EMLab) is an environmental testing lab specializing in microbiological, mold, and IAQ testing with growing water and soil capabilities. It is comparable to Jones & Henry's microbiological testing line, though narrower in industrial wastewater focus.

Others

• Golder Associates (now WSP): WSP (acquired Golder Associates) is a major environmental consulting firm that often pairs with environmental testing labs like Jones & Henry on site investigation, NPDES, and remediation projects. It represents an ecosystem partner and indirect competitor for consulting engineers' testing budgets.

Direct peers

• Summit Environmental Technologies: Summit Environmental Technologies is a regional environmental testing laboratory offering drinking water, wastewater, soil, and hazardous waste analysis in the Midwest. Closely comparable to Jones & Henry in service portfolio, customer base (municipalities, industrial, engineers), and regional focus.
• Pace Analytical: Pace Analytical is one of the largest U.S. environmental testing laboratory networks, offering drinking water, wastewater, soil, and hazardous waste characterization with multi-state coverage. It is the most direct competitor to Jones & Henry's core environmental compliance testing services at a national scale.
• RTI Laboratories: RTI Laboratories is a Michigan-based environmental and analytical testing laboratory offering drinking water, wastewater, soil, and industrial hygiene testing. Comparable to Jones & Henry in regional Midwest footprint, NPDES and RCRA testing capabilities, and municipal/industrial customer mix.

Regional players

• Alpha Analytical: Alpha Analytical is a New England-based environmental laboratory offering drinking water, wastewater, soil, and solid waste testing with a strong focus on regulatory compliance. Comparable in service mix to Jones & Henry but operating in a non-overlapping geography.
