LONDON – Element Materials Technology (Element) has completed the formal rebranding and integration of Exova Group plc (Exova). Acquired in June 2017, the transaction created a world-class testing organization with greater capabilities, more capacity, a global geographic reach and superior technical strength.
Following the completion of the acquisition, Element established an in-house central Program Management Office (PMO) to drive the delivery of seven major phases of integration and rebranding across locations in the Americas, Asia, Australasia, Europe, the Middle East and Africa that saw an Exova laboratory being rebranded, on average, every four working days. In addition, the group’s central functions went through their own integration process. Teams were brought together, systems and processes streamlined and combined, group-wide policies created, and single integrated functions formed.
