LONDON: Intertek Group plc (ITRK.L), a global provider of Total Quality Assurance services, said on Monday it has acquired Envirolab, a leading environmental testing and analysis firm based in Australia, as part of its strategy to expand in high-growth sustainability markets.
The deal gives Intertek access to Envirolab’s five laboratories across Australia and New Zealand, staffed by more than 200 professionals. The business generated £28 million in revenue in the year ended June 2025.
Envirolab specialises in testing soil, water, air, and chemical substances including PFAS, serving clients in government, infrastructure, energy and construction. It has delivered consistent double-digit revenue growth and strong margins over the past three years, supported by investments in advanced technologies and a new 46,000-square-foot facility in Perth.
“The acquisition strengthens our position in the fast-growing Asia Pacific environmental testing market,” said Intertek CEO André Lacroix. “Envirolab’s technical expertise and customer-centric culture align perfectly with our mission to deliver risk-based quality assurance solutions.”
The global environmental testing market, valued at $20 billion, is projected to grow at 6.6% annually through 2033, with Asia Pacific expected to lead at 7.4%. Intertek said the acquisition offers strong commercial synergies, particularly in mining, energy and infrastructure, and will enhance its ATIC (Assurance, Testing, Inspection and Certification) offerings.
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
