Nemko to Acquire Professional Testing
Nemko Group, a leading global regulatory agency headquartered in Oslo, Norway, has announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Professional Testing (EMI) (known as PTI), with effect Jan 1st, 2022. PTI, an accredited test laboratory, providing EMC, wireless, product safety, reliability, and hazardous locations and explosive atmosphere testing is situated in two central Texas locations- Round Rock and Austin. Once completed, the transaction will expand Nemko's footprint in the U.S. and supports new testing capabilities for commercial, military, aerospace, and high-tech manufacturers.
"We look forward to welcoming the experienced and dedicated team at PTI into the Nemko Group," commented Per Ove Øyberg, Nemko Group President & CEO. "This acquisition reinforces our commitment to providing accessible testing solutions that improve speed-to-market, which is crucial to our customers' success."
With over 30 years of experience in industries including information technology, test and measurement, medical, military, aerospace, marine, and oil and gas, PTI's strategic locations will allow Nemko to better serve customers in North America. In addition, existing PTI customers will now have access to faster approvals, broader testing capabilities, and the advantages of Nemko's vast market access and international approval services.
"The team at PTI has exceeded our expectations as a partner, opening up new opportunities for growth in the region," said Ole-Martin Oien, GM of Nemko USA. "This acquisition enhances Nemko's primary safety, EMC, certification, and international market access services while significantly expanding our hazardous location and explosive atmosphere facilities."
Texas' central location and state-of-the-art transportation network provide timely access to domestic and global markets via air, land, and sea. As one of the most important economic corridors on the continent, Texas is a hotbed for emerging businesses and a home to 49 Fortune 500 companies.
"Our team is very excited to begin the next chapter in the evolution of our core business," stated Jeff Lenk, President of PTI. "Nemko's core values are aligned with ours and will provide the experience, market share, and key partnerships needed to compete in today's global markets."
