Name Change Frequently Asked Questions
Effective Date: September 1, 2025
What is happening?
Suburban Testing Labs is officially rebranding to SPL on September 1, 2025. This change reflects the integration into SPL’s Environmental Division, which began with the acquisition in November 2024.
Why are you changing the name?
This rebrand is part of a strategic growth plan to align all SPL environmental labs under a unified national brand. It allows us to deliver consistent service, messaging, and resources while continuing to operate locally with the team our clients already know and trust.
Will I still be working with the same team?
Yes. Your project managers, account representatives, field staff, and technical contacts remain the same. Suburban Testing Labs’ local leadership continues in place under the SPL name.
BILLING – Do I change the way I pay my bill?
Not yet. You will receive notification from our accounting department over the next 4 weeks with any changes that need to be made. Until then, continue to remit invoice payments to “Suburban Testing Labs.”
Is this part of a merger or acquisition?
Yes. In November 2024, SPL acquired Suburban Testing Labs as part of our long-term strategy to expand its environmental platform in the Northeast. This partnership was about growth. The rebrand is the final phase of that integration and is designed to increase client value through unified service and enhanced capabilities.
Who is SPL?

Will anything change about the services I receive?

What improvements can I expect?
While the service model and team remain the same, clients will benefit from:
- Access to broader SPL resources
- Expanded testing capabilities
- Enhanced support infrastructure
What changes will I see?

- Suburbantestinglabs.com will remain active for the time being, but will feature the new name and logo.
- You may receive emails from @spllabs.com addresses starting September 1, but our @suburbantestinglabs.com emails will remain active and forward to our new domains for now. Please add this domain to your safe sender list.
Who can I contact with questions?
Your regular project manager is happy to answer any questions. You can also reach out directly to us via email at info@suburbantestinglabs.com.
Will this change your pricing structure or turnaround times?
No. Our service agreements, pricing structures, and turnaround commitments remain unchanged. If any changes occur in the future, they will be communicated clearly and transparently.
