French group acquires Millbrook
French group UTAC CERAM has completed the acquisition of the British group Millbrook.
The two companies will merge, creating a market-leading group in vehicle testing, vehicle type approval and emerging technologies for autonomous, connected and electric vehicles.
Doubling the turnover, the new group now operates eight test centres around the world, including the only Euro NCAP laboratory in France.
Executive Committee chairman Laurent Benoit said: “We are particularly proud to have finalised this agreement, which represents a decisive step in continuing to expand the support we offer to our customers. Now to ensure the success of our new group, all our teams are working hard to merge our activities and I thank them for their incredible commitment.”
