Lab Alley CEO Named Nominee for Austin Business Journal's 2026 Best CEO Awards

Fred Elabed recognized among the region's top business leaders at October 6 awards reception

Lab Alley, a leading supplier of natural, essential, and high purity chemicals serving more than 16 industries across North America, today announced that CEO Fred Elabed was recognized as a nominee for the Austin Business Journal's 2026 Best CEO Awards. Elabed was honored alongside fellow nominees at the awards reception held at the W Austin on Tuesday, October 6, 2026. The annual awards celebrate Austin-area executives who show exceptional leadership and vision and make a meaningful impact on both their organizations and the local business community.

The Austin Business Journal's Best CEO Awards is one of the region's most prestigious business recognitions, spotlighting the leaders driving growth, culture, and innovation across Central Texas. As CEO, Elabed has led Lab Alley's evolution into a trusted chemical supplier for researchers, manufacturers, and procurement teams across North America. Under his leadership, Lab Alley has grown to serve more than 256,000 customers while maintaining a 99.5% shipping accuracy rate. That track record reflects a company-wide commitment to delivering on its promise: on budget, on time, every time.

"I'm grateful, first and foremost, to my wife Holly, who has been with me through every late night and every hard decision since the beginning. I'm grateful to our team at Lab Alley. They've built a culture where people take ownership and care about getting it right for the customer, and that culture is what got us here. And I'm grateful for the opportunity. Building this company hasn't been easy. There were years when we were packing orders ourselves, and competing against suppliers ten times our size, and we kept going because we believed chemical buying could be simpler and more reliable. Today, more than 256,000 customers trust us to deliver on budget, on time, every time. Being recognized alongside this group of Austin leaders means a great deal, and I congratulate this year's winners."

— Fred Elabed, CEO, Lab Alley
