Intertek Group PLC on Monday said it has acquired Costa Rican food safety and medical device testing business Supilab SA. London-based Intertek, which provides assurance, testing, inspection and certification services, expects the deal to offer ‘immediate access to a large customer base and a fast-growing ATIC market in Central America.’ Financial details of the acquisition were not disclosed. According to Intertek, demand for ATIC services is growing in step with the Costa Rican economy and ‘high-margin’ sectors including medical devices and food. It noted Supilab’s microbiology, water and chemistry testing capabilities. The San Jose-based firm’s revenue totalled £3.1 million in 2024, according to Intertek. Chief Executive Andre Lacroix commented: ‘The acquisition of Suplilab in Costa Rica is an exciting opportunity to enter into Central America’s high-growth, high-margin food and medical devices spaces, deepening our industry-leading ATIC footprint in Latin America. We look forward to working with the Suplilab team to seize the exciting growth opportunities ahead.’ Intertek shares rose 0.1% to 5,070.00 pence on Monday morning in London.
