SGS is pleased to announce the acquisition of Atest SA, a leading Swiss Non
Destructive Testing (NDT) company, based in Châtel-St-Denis, Switzerland.
Privately owned and founded in 2000, Atest serves the energy industry (Hydro
energy and penstock, Refineries, Public and Private pipelines) and the Rail
transportation, employing 11 team members and generating revenue in excess of
CHF 2.8 mio in 2010.
This acquisition gives SGS all the necessary accreditations to perform Non

activities to nuclear plants. "I am particularly excited about this acquisition,
especially since it is based so close to our home here in Geneva" said Chris
Kirk, CEO of SGS. "It represents a new milestone in our strategy to target the
Energy sector for our Industrial Services and represents a new step in our
objective to develop our business in Switzerland."
