What a.lanfranco & associates does

A. Lanfranco & Associates Inc. is a privately held, family-owned environmental consulting firm founded in 1983 by Alan Lanfranco in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. The firm specializes in air pollution sciences, with its primary service being stack testing (source emission testing) for industrial facilities across regulated sectors including cement manufacturing, pulp and paper, mining, petroleum refining, waste management, semiconductor manufacturing, and healthcare. Its technology stack is built around EPA-approved sampling methods (US EPA Method 23, Modified Method 5, Method 201a, CCSEM), licensed dispersion modelling software (CALPUFF and AERMOD View), continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) with Relative Accuracy Test Audits (RATA), and comprehensive laboratory analysis for contaminants including dioxins/furans, trace metals, VOCs, acid gases, and siloxanes. Work is performed by certified technical staff qualified under the BC Field Sampling Manual and ASTM D7036, with four to five field crews dispatched routinely.

The firm generates revenue exclusively through project-based professional services fees on custom engagements — there are no subscription, freemium, or usage-based revenue streams. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise and government sales, with clients engaging via phone or email for bespoke testing, monitoring, dispersion modelling, and air permitting projects. The firm's client roster spans at least 14 named enterprise and government accounts across Canada and internationally (Philippines, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, USA), including long-tenured relationships such as Catalyst Paper (~1996–present), Holcim Cement Philippines (2007–present), and Metro Vancouver Waste-to-Energy (quarterly compliance monitoring). Day-to-day operations transitioned from founder Alan Lanfranco to his son Mark Lanfranco in 2014, with Alan remaining as a consultant. The firm carries liability/errors and omissions insurance, is a member of multiple professional associations (EMA of BC, SES, AWMA), and has been self-described as "by far the most active source test consultant in the province" of British Columbia.

Broad incumbents

• Bureau Veritas: Global TIC leader offering stack testing, emissions monitoring, and air quality consulting across multiple industries. Overlaps directly with Lanfranco's stack testing and CEMS services but at a vastly larger scale across many geographies and service lines.
• SGS: World's largest testing, inspection and certification company with extensive air emissions and environmental compliance services. Directly competes for industrial stack testing and CEMS contracts at multinational clients.
• Intertek: Global TIC firm providing air quality testing, emissions monitoring, and environmental consulting for industrial clients. Comparable service mix across stack testing and CEMS with broader geographic reach.
• TÜV SÜD: International TIC provider with environmental testing and air emissions services for industrial facilities. Comparable in stack/source testing and regulatory-driven emissions work, particularly in Europe and Asia where Lanfranco has been active.
• WSP Canada: Major engineering consultancy with a Canadian environmental practice covering air quality, dispersion modelling, and emissions permitting. Direct overlap with Lanfranco's permitting and modelling offerings but as part of a much broader portfolio.

Emerging players

• ALS Environmental: Environmental testing laboratory already listed as a Lanfranco resource partner; provides analytical services for dioxins, furans, and trace metals. Partial overlap as a lab service provider rather than full-service stack tester.

Direct peers

• TRC Companies: US-based environmental engineering firm with strong air quality, emissions testing, and stack testing practices. Previously partnered with Lanfranco on the Hong Kong EPD dioxin/PCB engagement and competes for similar industrial compliance work.
• Trinity Consultants: Environmental consulting firm specializing in air quality, dispersion modelling (BREEZE/AERMOD/CALPUFF), permitting, and emissions compliance — directly overlapping Lanfranco's dispersion modelling and permitting service lines.
• Pinchin Ltd: Canadian environmental, building science, and emissions consulting firm operating across Canada. Comparable in air quality, emissions testing, and industrial compliance services within the same Canadian market.
• Maxxam Analytics: Canadian environmental laboratory providing analytical testing for air emissions, dioxins/furans, and trace metals — overlapping with Lanfranco's specialty SVOC/dioxin testing services and supporting the same industrial client base.
