Michael C. Wright, President

Mr. Wright organized McKenzie/Wright Laboratories, LLC in February 2000 and serves as the company’s President. He has been involved in the agrochemical business for 22 years; 10 years in the contract laboratory services area, 10 years as a registrant technical research manager and the last two years as an independent consultant to the industry. He began his career at ABC Laboratories in 1977 as a bench chemist. He later moved into a management position where he supervised 27 professional and technical staff members in multiple FIFRA projects. In 1988 he joined Elf Atochem overseeing all metabolism studies and eventually became Group Leader of the Residue Chemistry Department. Studies under his control included crop and animal metabolism, environmental fate, and crop field residue studies. In 1999, Mr. Wright formed a consulting firm, Wright Associates, which provided technical oversight of FIFRA studies. As an expansion of this business, Mr. Wright formed McKenzie/Wright Laboratories LLC in 2000 and bought the FIFRA/FDA portions of McKenzie Laboratories business so that not only could he provide technical oversight of programs but could also exercise closer control of the analytical services associated with those programs. In 2002, the facility was moved to Texas so that Mr. Wright could oversee the daily operations, and to cut overhead costs. With this move, McKenzie/Wright Laboratories is able to provide analytical services at competitive pricing.
