Testing and inspection specialist Intertek has acquired US-based MT Group, giving the company closer access to the US high-growth construction markets.
MT provides materials testing and inspection services for the building industry in the New York metro area.
The acquisition of MT supports Intertek’s growth strategy in the building and construction sector in North America and complements its planned acquisition of PSI, a provider of testing and assurance services to commercial and civil markets, as well as Architectural Testing (ATI) acquired in 2013.
Intertek, which has offices around the world and also operates in the oil and gas and renewables sectors, will provide testing and assurance services from lab-based product manufacturing support through to in-field inspection and testing during construction.
Chief executive André Lacroix, said: “The addition of MT, along with our planned acquisition of PSI, will position Intertek as a leading full service provider in the rapidly growing US construction market.”
