Established in 1995

Analytical & Consulting Services was founded by Sharlyn Franco in 1995. She started ACS in her basement on the northside of Sioux City, Iowa. Ms. Franco has a passion for chemistry, a strong work ethic, and a commitment to providing accurate results. These attributes have helped her build a strong client base. In 2001, Sharlyn purchased a lab in Sgt. Bluff, Iowa. In late 2006, ACS outgrew that location of 900 square feet. Within the year, ACS started building a new 4,000 sq. feet facility in Sgt. Bluff. By the end of 2007, ACS moved into its new location. A decade later, ACS is expanding that location, serving to more than a 100 clients and providing the same dedication that Sharlyn started with 25 years ago. ​
