01 April 2025 - Nordic Inspekt Group AB, a subsidiary of ININ Group AS, has
today signed the share purchase agreement to acquire 100 percent of the shares
in Norway-based testing, inspection and certification (TIC) group Testpartner
Gruppen.
Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement dated 23 January 2025
regarding the transaction.
This acquisition is another step in Nordic Inspekt Group's expansion plan and
ambition to become one of the leading TIC players in the Nordics. Testpartner
Gruppen will continue to operate as a separate company but will collaborate
closely with Inspekt Norway AS - the current Norwegian arm of Nordic Inspekt
Group.
Today, Inspekt Norway AS has a presence in the Southern part of Norway, while
Testpartner Gruppen has its stronghold in North Norway.
"We established ourselves in Norway two years ago and have a rapidly growing
presence in the Norwegian market. The addition of Testpartner Gruppen will
significantly enhance our Norwegian footprint, enabling us to take on more work
and more easily support customers that have operations in multiple locations
across Norway," says Niklas Persson, CEO of Nordic Inspekt Group AB.
