We are proud to report strong results and fast execution of Strategy 27 - ‘Accelerating growth, building trust’.
Marking a major step forward in our strategic agenda, we have signed an agreement to acquire Applied Technical Services, a leading US provider of testing, inspection, calibration, and forensics solutions. This will significantly enhance our North American footprint, give us access to complementary end-markets and unlock both cost and cross-selling synergies.
