TRESCAL EXPANDS GLOBAL FOOTPRINT
rescal has
announced 14 acquisitions
throughout Europe,
Asia, Oceania, and the Americas. This represents
€50M+ additional sales and 800 employees. In Portugal, the company acquired a legal metrology specialist. In France, Trescal added a provider of 3D measure- ment services. In Spain, the acquisition expanded qualification offerings for the life science sector and calibration services for the aeronautics industry. In the United Kingdom, four laborato- ries propelled Trescal to the market leader in the region. The company entered India, its 34th country, through the purchase of a leading domestic calibration laboratory with loca- tions in Bengaluru and Hyderabad. This move provides Trescal’s multinational clients with immediate, NABL-accredited services in one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing manufacturing hubs. To fortify its coverage in the Asia-Pacific region, the company acquired a state-of-the-art temperature laboratory in South Korea, an Australian company specializing in scales and balances for life sciences, and a calibration provider in China operating five laboratories focused on the aeronautics industry. Two acquisitions in the Americas reinforced Trescal’s leading flow capabilities, particularly for the energy sector in Brazil. Guillaume Caroit, Trescal CEO, commented: “With the new market entry, we can now provide our clients with the same cali- bration service in India that they receive in Europe, the Americas, and the rest of Asia Pacific. We will continue this pace of global expansion, with two market entries planned for 2026. We have the technical expertise and the infrastructure needed to meet clients’ needs worldwide.”
