SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has signed an agreement to acquire Information Quality (IQ). IQ is a leading provider of Digital Engineering, Asset Data & Information Management Systems and Reliability Engineering. Its 111 experts empower confident business decisions through access to reliable, relevant and retrievable information.
This acquisition builds on SGS’s capabilities in Australia and is fully aligned with Strategy 27 – “Accelerating growth, building trust”. It contributes to the new SGS DIGITAL TRUST framework launched in October 2025 by deploying advanced technologies and services that help organizations reduce risk, improve operational efficiency and navigate today’s complex digital trust landscape. SGS is targeting at least CHF 200 million in additional revenue from Digital Trust by 2027 compared to 2023.
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval and is expected to close by early 2026.
