Originally founded in 1999 and based in Berlin, GEVA performs product qualification testing on metallic and composite structures through static, dynamic fatigue and structural strength examinations for 欧洲’s most high-profile Prime airframe and aero engine manufacturers.
Charles Noall, President and CEO of im体育APP, says: “Germany is one of 欧洲’s strongest economies and the region’s aerospace market is in exceptional health, so we are excited to have completed this transaction, which puts our company at the heart of the 航空航天 testing industry in 欧洲."
“GEVA is a superb fit for im体育APP; we have been aware of the outstanding quality of its work for some time, and consultation with our Prime partners served to confirm that their testing capabilities are held in the highest regard around the world. We were particularly interested in the laboratory’s innovative spin testing, where parts designed to rotate in aero engines are accelerated to high revolutions to determine failure points, a service that we have been keen to incorporate into our own offering."
The acquisition follows a record year for im体育APP, during which it acquired US composite specialists Delsen 测试 Laboratories and one of the largest testing groups in the US, Sherry Laboratories, to become the largest independent materials testing company in the US and one of the fastest-growing in the world. Geva represents im体育APP’s sixth acquisition since 2011.
Noall concludes: “We have valuable integration experience with a number of recent high-quality acquisitions, so it will be very much ‘business as usual’ for all concerned. We envision a particularly close relationship between GEVA and our laboratory in Jupiter, FL, which currently services a number of 欧洲an Primes. Both our existing customers and GEVA’s will benefit greatly from the sharing of knowledge, methodologies and expertise between the two facilities, and indeed the wider im体育APP platform.”
