Solving everyday problems with innovative solutions since 1977.
Team Laboratory Chemical Co. is a specialty chemical company based in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. Since 1977 we have supplied products that solve specific, stubborn problems for municipal and industrial customers, from wastewater operators to public works crews, and we back them with experts in the industry.
The name is the method
Team Lab was founded in 1977 in Bismarck, North Dakota by Gary and Dianne Sullivan, on a simple principle: work as a team with the customer to develop the solution. That is where the name comes from, and it is still how the company works.
1977
Gary and Dianne Sullivan found Team Lab in Bismarck, North Dakota, building products hand in hand with the customers who needed them.
2003
Terry Maier, a long-time Team Lab employee, and his wife Michelle purchase the company and move it to Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. The founding principle carries over.
Today
Team Lab is a recognized leader in municipal chemical sales across the Midwest, known for wastewater programs, BASE ONE road stabilization, and other maintenance products.

Real expertise
Our people know the biology and the field, so the recommendation fits your site and your conditions.
Lasting power
Products built to be longer term solutions, which is where the real cost savings live.
