Quality assurance provider, Intertek, has announced the acquisition of Australian company Envirolab, for an undisclosed amount.

Envirolab, which provides environmental testing and analysis, employs more than 200 professionals across five laboratories in Australia and New Zealand and generated revenues of £28m in the financial year to June 2025.

Intertek suggested the move would give it exposure to the “fast growth and attractive” APAC environmental testing market.

The FTSE 100 listed company also said the deal for Envirolab could provide it with a “strong value creation opportunity”, alongside revenue growth in the “high margin”.

Intertek CEO, André 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.

“We look forward to working with the Envirolab team to seize the truly exciting growth opportunities in the environmental testing industry and meet the heightened demand for comprehensive risk-based quality assurance solutions.”
