LITTLE ROCK, Ark. and DENVER, Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Montrose Environmental Group, Inc. ("Montrose" or "the Company") (NYSE: MEG), a high-growth global environmental solutions company, today announced the acquisition of Origins Laboratory, LLC ("Origins"), a leading environmental laboratory. Origins, including owners Noelle and David Mathis, will be integrated into the Company's Measurement and Analysis Segment and operate as part of Enthalpy Analytical, LLC ("Enthalpy"), a subsidiary of Montrose.

Founded in Denver, Colorado in 2006, Origins is a NELAP-certified environmental testing laboratory that specializes in measuring the contamination of water, soil and air for oil and gas clients in the Rocky Mountain region.

Origins' ability to provide rapid results allows clients to achieve significant cost savings by facilitating faster remediation efforts, reducing time on site, and improving overall project efficiency.

The acquisition of Origins empowers Montrose to provide laboratory services in conjunction with other environmental solutions already offered to clients in the region, resulting in an integrated, differentiated solution suite to address clients' current and changing needs as regulations continue to evolve.
