SOCOTEC BRINGS AAR, ADVANCE TESTING, AND NINYO & MOORE UNDER THE SOCOTEC BRAND, STRENGTHENING ITS COMMITMENT TO AMERICA'S INFRASTRUCTURE

SOCOTEC announced the rebranding of AAR, Advance Testing and Ninyo & Moore under the SOCOTEC name, creating a larger U.S. platform focused on infrastructure, energy, digital infrastructure and development projects. The company says the combined business now has more than 1,700 professionals, over 40 offices and more than 25 laboratories nationwide, strengthening its ability to serve complex technical consulting, engineering and testing needs. The move is strategic rather than a change in operations: legal entities, contracts and project teams remain unchanged, so client continuity should be preserved. Market-wise, the announcement signals SOCOTEC’s push to scale in a growing U.S. infrastructure market, especially around transportation and data centers, but it does not disclose financial terms or direct implications for public markets.
