We are excited to announce that A.W. Research Laboratories is under new ownership for the first time in its 43 year history. The new ownership group consists of three long-term employees that have served as the management team since the death of the company’s founder, Alan Cibuzar, last year.

Sara Ahlers joined A.W. Research Laboratories as Laboratory Director in 1999. Originally from Red Lake Falls, Minnesota, Ahlers attended the University of Minnesota where she received her degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

Stephanie Kuesel is originally from Little Falls and has been with the company for 14 years. With degrees in Water Resource Technology and Environmental Resources, Kuesel has served as Senior Lab Technician and Laboratory Manager for A.W. Research Laboratories.

Sarah Fogderud, Project Manager and Controller, is originally from Bismarck, North Dakota and has her degree in Biology from Gustavus Adolphus College. Fogderud has been with A.W. Research Laboratories since 2008.

A.W. Research Laboratories will continue to operate out of our current location at the Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport providing water testing, onsite sampling and consulting services to clients throughout central Minnesota. The lab offers in-house testing services for drinking water, wastewater, surface water, groundwater, and stormwater.

I am so happy to see Allan's dream thrive in such a critical time for our environment. I miss him so much! I was Allen's first aerial photographer at A&W...I got the job because everyone else got sick in the plane going around around the lakes lookinf thru the viewfinder on the 35 mm camera we used. For 4 great years I was able to watch A&W grow from an idea to a company that would effect real change for Minnesota and our lakes. Good luck with your dream, one started long ago with Allan at the helm with passion and excitement and vision. He would be so appreciative.
