Am Test Inc. is a full service analytical laboratory that offers a myriad of testing services in the air quality, environmental, industrial, biological, and petrochemical fields. The laboratory has been in existence since 1977 and in its current facility (Redmond, WA) since 1985.

Am Test Inc. is a privately held Washington corporation and fulfills the criteria of a Small Business Concern. Am Test Inc. is also a Woman-owned business with 75% ownership belonging to its president Kathleen Fugiel.

The laboratory originated as an in-house facility owned by CH2M Hill Inc. It was located in Bellevue, Washington and had a staff of four. Analytical services were provided to their own engineering group with only a few outside clients. In 1977, a 55% interest in the laboratory was purchased by Can Test Ltd. in Vancouver, Canada and the name was changed to Am Test Inc.

The laboratory grew to a staff of seven over two years and at that time Am Test Inc. bought out a small laboratory in Ballard, Washington (Food Chemical and Research) and the two laboratories were combined into the Food-Chem building. The laboratory grew quickly and by 1985 there were seventeen employees and a severe shortage of space. In 1986, the laboratory operation was moved to Redmond, Washington and a new 13,000 square foot laboratory was designed specifically for a diversified and safe working environment. There are eighteen fume hoods, two walk-in refrigerators for sample storage and fourteen individual lab areas. In 1999, majority ownership was sold to Kathleen Fugiel when Can-Am laboratory group sold all of its American holdings.
