Materials & Chemistry Laboratory, Inc. is pleased to announce a leadership transition designed to ensure continuity while positioning the company for future growth.

After serving as MCLinc’s only Chief Executive Officer since the company’s creation, Barry Stephenson is retiring as President and CEO. Michele Sanders, who has helped lead the company’s technical and operational success for 20 years, has been named to replace Barry. Stephenson will remain actively involved with the company as a member of MCLinc’s Board of Directors.

“I am proud of what our team has accomplished and fully confident in Michele’s leadership. I look forward to continuing to support the company as a member of the Board,” Stephenson said.

“I am honored to lead MCLinc into its next chapter,” Sanders said. “Barry built a company founded in technical excellence, integrity, customer service, and community commitment. Those values will continue to guide everything we do.”

MCLinc was established in 1998 through the U.S. Department of Energy’s Reindustrialization Program and became the first private company created through the privatization of a former K-25 facility. The company emerged during a pivotal period in Oak Ridge’s history, helping to demonstrate how the region’s world-class technical workforce could continue to support important national missions while creating new private-sector opportunities.

Today, MCLinc continues to provide specialized technical and laboratory services to government and industry customers while remaining an active supporter of the Oak Ridge community.

“While leadership roles may change, our mission remains the same,” Sanders said. “We are committed to delivering excellence to our customers, supporting our community, and building on Oak Ridge’s extraordinary legacy of innovation and service.”

Carbon and sulfur content can have a significant impact on material properties, product quality, and process performance. That's why accurate, reliable analysis is essential across industries ranging from nuclear and mining to manufacturing and materials development.

At MCLinc, we utilize the LECO CS844 Carbon & Sulfur Analyzer to support a wide range of sample types, including radioactive and non-radioactive materials. Our capabilities include analysis of uranium and nuclear fuel components, metals and alloys, ores, ceramics, carbides, cement, and other industrial materials.

When combined with our decades of analytical expertise and experience handling complex sample matrices, the LECO CS844 helps us deliver dependable data that supports research, quality assurance, process optimization, and regulatory compliance.

For MCLinc, 2026 marks 28 years as a commercial laboratory.

In 1998, MCLinc became the first private company established through the U.S. Department of Energy’s Reindustrialization Program following the shutdown of the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant. Built from the former K-25 chemistry laboratory, our company was founded on the expertise, scientific rigor, and problem-solving mindset of the technical professionals who helped shape Oak Ridge’s historic mission.

Over the years, that knowledge and experience has been carried forward by new generations of scientists and technical professionals, allowing MCLinc to continue supporting critical government and industry missions.

Today, MCLinc remains an employee-owned small business providing consulting and analytical testing services in materials characterization, environmental chemistry, industrial hygiene, hydrometallurgy, radiochemistry, and process optimization, including the licensed handling of radioactive materials and enriched uranium.

As Oak Ridge enters another era of growth and investment in advanced energy and nuclear technologies, we remain committed to investing in new capabilities, supporting evolving industry needs, and continuing Oak Ridge’s legacy of science, innovation, and service.

Thank you to our employees, clients, partners, and community for being part of our journey.

The future is built on strong foundations.
