- Garwood Laboratories in Pico Rivera and San Clemente Ca.
4/20/2011
Effective April 1st, 2011 Garwood Laboratories, Inc. is back under the ownership of the Armstrong family and reverts back to an American /Veteran Owned Small Business. The time away has given me time to reflect on what we had accomplished, where we had come as a company over the 25 years I owned Garwood Labs, and how much I missed the testing world.
To be sure our direction is on target, the very first step in moving forward is the appointment of Heather Armstrong – Bennett as the General Manager of the company. With her former experience in numerous roles at Garwood, plus being one of the best customer advocates ever at Garwood it was an easy decision. I have great pride and confidence in this important move.
For those who are unfamiliar with Garwood Labs, we are well known as a “family” business, as we like to operate in a close knit, family atmosphere wherever possible. Established in 1954, Garwood Labs has stood the test of time over all those years, maintaining our foothold in the testing and compliance world.
I will be returning to my position as President and CEO, and look forward to seeing and working with all of you again. As in the past, my door is always open, and I welcome the opportunity to spend time with each and every one of you. Please be sure to stop in and say hello when you are in the lab, as one of the best parts of my job was meeting and talking with all of you.
The same great customer service and integrity that sets Garwood Labs apart from the competition will continue under the new management to re-affirm our statement “Excellence Built on Integrity”.
Please take note of the following changes:
- Please notify your shipping, ordering/purchase departments of our name change to Garwood Laboratories, Inc.
- All current/active invoices issued by Stork Garwood Laboratories, Inc. prior to April 1st’ 2011 should be payable to Stork Garwood Laboratories, Inc.
- All new invoices issued after March 31st, 2011 by Garwood Laboratories, Inc. should be payable toGarwood Laboratories, Inc.
I wish you all the best for 2011, and our family, Garwood Laboratories, Inc., looks forward to being a part of your success.
Sincerely,
Jim Armstrong
President & CEO
