Millbrook buys Test World: Combination offers all-inclusive test, validation and engineering service

摘要

Millbrook, the well-known vehicle test, validation and engineering service provider, signed a contract to acquire specialist winter test centre Test World on 14 September. No price-tag has been publically released. BASED IN IVALO, Northern Finland, Test World has unique and versatile facilities, including specialist tyre testing capabilities and a range of winter tracks. Test World has indoor facilities for both objective and subjective testing of winter tyres on real snow throughout the year, reducing time to market for tyre manufacturers. Test World's facilities are available to customers for independent testing, as well as providing test services and type approval work to its global customer base. The idea is that, in combination with Millbrook's 70km of varied tracks and test facilities for components and full vehicles, Test World will be able to offer a much broader range of winter, wet and dry testing services. In addition, being part of a larger group will also give Test World better access to capital, making it easier to invest and further develop its test facilities. Because Millbrook is an independent business the companies maintain that Test World will continue to provide completely impartial test results for customers and consumers alike.
