SGS is proud to announce the acquisition of RTI Laboratories, a leading provider of environmental and materials testing services based in Detroit, Michigan. This bolt-on acquisition expands SGS’s footprint in North America and enhances its capabilities to meet the evolving needs of its clients with certifications from both commercial and Federal government standards. It adds 30 talented employees to SGS.
"The acquisition of RTI is a key step in executing Strategy 27. It strengthens SGS’s position as a leader in PFAS analysis, becoming our eighth PFAS and fifth Department of Defense-certified laboratory, while expanding capacity and support for clients in the Midwest," said Marcus Maguire, Head of Environment, Health and Safety at SGS North America.
The acquisition enhances SGS’s material testing capabilities, adding metallurgical testing, alloy chemistry, failure analysis, and paint and coating evaluations to its network in the Midwest. "This expansion provides SGS clients with broader testing options and a local presence in Michigan, complete with pickup and courier services," added Maguire.
This marks a key milestone in SGS’s strategy to diversify services and meet the rising demand for environmental and materials testing.
