FOUNDER

"In 1952, after serving as the Ombudsman for the Massachusetts Dry Cleaners Association, handling consumer complaints...and with the rise of the consumerism movement, my father Herbert established Consumer Testing Laboratories in Boston, Massachusetts. My father retired from the company in 1985 and although he is no longer with us, his ideals still guide our worldwide Company today."
