A young brand with a strong heritage
ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ is little more than a decade old, but can trace its origins back to 1827. With roots based in industrial testing and measurement in the Victorian era, ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ businesses have been involved in materials and product testing that gave the world the Model T ford, put Concorde into the skies and has helped keep Venice afloat.
ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ was formed in 2010, after a management buy-out of the testing division of the Netherlands-based Stork Engineering Group, backed by 3i Group plc. Starting with 860 people in 27 laboratories, the Group has grown dramatically in the last ten years, as many organisations have moved their testing requirements to specialist providers.
