Intertek Group PLC on Monday said it has acquired Envirolab, a provider of environmental testing and analysis in Australia, as it seeks to strengthen its sustainability and regulatory assurance offerings. The London-based provider of assurance, testing, inspection and certification services said Envirolab generated £28 million in revenue in the financial year ended June 2025. It did not disclose the price paid for the deal. Envirolab tests soil, water, air, materials, biological and chemical substances, including PFAS and other emerging contaminants. It employs more than 200 staff across five laboratories in Australia and New Zealand. Intertek said Envirolab is the leading independent environmental testing laboratory in Australia, with consistent double-digit revenue growth, strong margins and robust cash generation over the past three years. Recent investment has included a new 46,000-square-foot laboratory in Perth, Western Australia. Intertek said the global environmental testing market is valued at around $20 billion and forecast to grow 6.6% annually through 2033, with the Asia Pacific expected to be the fastest-growing region. Intertek Chief Executive Officer Andre Lacroix said: ‘Envirolab will provide Intertek with a high-quality environmental laboratory business in Australia, underpinned by deep technical expertise and a proven track record of growth and profitability.’ He added the combination creates ‘exciting growth opportunities in the environmental testing industry’ and allows Intertek to meet heightened demand for risk-based quality assurance solutions. Shares in Intertek opened marginally lower at 4,688.00 pence in London on Monday. Copyright 2025 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
