A&L Great Lakes

A&L Great Lakes is an agricultural and food testing laboratory headquartered at 3505 Conestoga Drive in Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States. The company operates a broad analytical testing business built around the needs of farmers, growers, agronomists, and agricultural businesses. Its service menu covers soil analysis, plant tissue analysis, feed analysis, fertilizer and lime analysis, manure analysis, compost analysis, water analysis, lawn and garden analysis, and greenhouse media analysis. In its own words, the laboratory positions itself as a provider not merely of analytical data but of "actionable information" that customers can use to improve the way they do business. The company describes itself as an international operation with clients around the United States and abroad, while retaining a distinctly agricultural identity. Its homepage notes that its CEO lives on a working farm and that many team members have farming experience, framing the business around a "farmer's sensibility" even as it performs laboratory science. This blend of technical testing and practical farm-oriented service is central to how A&L Great Lakes presents itself. A&L Great Lakes has been providing agricultural testing services to domestic and international clients for decades, according to its About Us page. The company also maintains a client portal (ALGL Client Portal), offers submittal forms, fact sheets, workshops, and supplies ordering for customers, and runs a news section. It has celebrated a 40th anniversary, marked by a photo contest promoted on its website, indicating a multi-decade operating history. The firm emphasizes certifications and credentials, professional associations and memberships, and community involvement as part of its identity. Because the available evidence comes primarily from the company's own website, details such as exact founding year, ownership structure, and executive names beyond the reference to a CEO are not fully documented here. What is clear is that A&L Great Lakes is an active, privately held agricultural testing laboratory serving a largely agribusiness customer base from its Fort Wayne headquarters.

This breadth reflects the range of inputs and outputs that farmers, growers, and agribusinesses need to monitor: the soil they plant in, the crops they grow, the feed they give livestock, the fertilizers and amendments they apply, the manure and compost they manage, the water they use, and the greenhouse media they grow in.
