Law Laboratories (LawLabs), the respected independent consultancy and laboratory service providers to the food, retail and consumer goods industries, has been acquired by Bodycote Materials Testing.
Bodycote Materials Testing is one of the world leading providers of materials testing services currently operating throughout the UK, Europe, the Middle East and North America. It is a major sub-contract service organisation, with over 53 facilities in 10 countries providing testing services to a wide range of industries, including the food, aerospace, manufacturing, rail and utilities among many others.
Bodycote already operates successful food testing laboratories in Canada and the Middle East and acquisition of LawLabs will enable the company to strengthen its expertise in this field.
Law Laboratories will continue to operate as normal from its current locations and with its existing management team, within the Health Sciences Division of Bodycote.
LawLabs' Managing director James Williams said:
"LawLabs' incorporation within the Bodycote Group will enable us to draw upon a much larger resource of services, skills and knowledge that can enhance the quality service our customers have come to expect. We are looking forward to extending our services in the future."
David Clapperton, Bodycote's Health Science director explains:
"Today's food and consumer goods industries are changing fast and developing globally. Bodycote's experience in North America combined with LawLabs strong reputation and client base in the UK will provides a platform for the international development of the food and consumer goods business unit. The support of Bodycote Materials Testing will provide LawLabs with additional support and resources to develop new services and expand the existing services in the UK and internationally."
