About FGL
Fruit Growers Laboratory, Inc. (FGL) is a full service agronomic and environmental
laboratory.
FGL's organization consists of it's primary laboratory and corporate offices in Santa Paula,
two satellite laboratories in Stockton and Chico and a field service office in Visalia. The
corporation employs approximately 95 employees and has annual revenues in excess of
$9,500,000. FGL is classified as a small business for both federal and
State of California projects. The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code is 8734.
In 1927, FGL secured it's drinking water state certification and since then has provided this
service to drinking water purveyors throughout the state. In 1973 Fruit Growers Laboratory
was incorporated as a standard California corporation and continued to expand its services to
the environmental and agronomic industries. FGL provides environmental and agricultural
analytical support services to a variety of clients from all three laboratories. These include
drinking water purveyors, wastewater and hazardous waste generators and handlers, farming
groups, individuals growers, private companies, prime government contractors, municipalities,
state and federal agencies. A substantial proportion of our business is made up of a large
number of small clients thus distributing our business over a large base of customers. This
helps prevent a small number of larger clients dominating our total business.
The corporation has grown at a conservative rate since its founding. Over the past 30 years it
has shown a consistent and respectable level of profitability. This has resulted in the
corporation's strong financial position and available revenues to further invest in people,
equipment and facilities.
