The First Analytical Services And Technical Cooperative has a humble and God-inspired history. The idea of putting up FAST Lab was thought up by one of the founding members of the cooperative. Reynaldo ‘Rey’ Amigo Kangleon was feeling uncertain of his newfound profession as an insurance agent early in the year 1997. At that time, he had been selling insurance for nine months already, a year after his early retirement as a quality manager. While he was selling life insurance products, a former colleague suggested putting up a testing laboratory for various feed milling plants in Southern Luzon; one which was cheaper but had faster turnaround of test results. It dawned then on Kangleon that it was God’s answer to his prayers. He knew putting up a testing laboratory was costly, and so he decided to solicit business partnerships from his former R&D colleagues, which gave birth to the company.
