This transaction joins together two of the world’s leading testing companies to create a single global testing organisation. The combined company, which is majority owned by Bridgepoint, an international private equity firm, now has more than 6200 employees and will operate in the future as Element Materials Technology.
The new Element Group will consist of 200 laboratories located in more than 30 countries.
This latest acquisition by Element follows a period of significant growth for the business, helping it to become the fastest growing independent materials testing and product qualification company in the world.
