History
J.V. Taylor founded T&T Labs, which eventually became Alcor Petrolab, in 1968. He had been trained as a petroleum chemist and worked for Howell Hydrocarbons of San Antonio. The company initially focused on analyzing water and wastewater. Chris Taylor, J.V.'s son, joined T&T Labs in 1980 and expanded into fuel testing. The company was renamed to Alcor Petrolab in 2001 after acquiring a high-performance lubricants testing laboratory. Nathan Wicker joined Alcor Petrolab in 2011. He now leads a team of more than 20 experienced chemists, engineers, and lab technicians to continue the tradition of high quality testing, rapid turnaround times, and distinctive levels of customer service. Alcor Petrolab has grown to be the largest independent fuel testing laboratory in the Dallas/Fort Worth and San Antonio/Austin areas. It is one of the leading independent testing laboratories for high-performance lubricants in the world.
