Cal Lab Solutions Acquires Cal Lab Magazine
Cal Lab Magazine was founded in 1994 by Charles Masi, a former editor at Test and Measurement World. At the time there were a handful of test and measurement magazines that would cover calibration products, but only rarely devoted an article to calibration. Mr. Masi launched Cal Lab with investment funding and by the end of 1994 (3 issues) he had not attracted enough advertising revenue to continue publishing. Carol Singer attained ownership and started publishing with the March-April 1995 issue after serving as editor for the January-February 1995 issue and introducing the magazine at the Measurement Science Conference in January 1995.
In the fifth year (1999), Carol changed from a 6-time publication schedule to a quarterly. The magazine flourished under her care until a downturn in the industry and having reached a point where nearly all of the potential advertisers had been reached. In January 2011, Cal Lab Solutions, Inc , a metrology based software and consulting company, acquired Cal Lab Magazine from Carol Singer.
