Cotecna Becomes Equity Stakeholder of ACT Lab

Sebastien Dannaud, CEO of Cotecna, said: “Over the past few years, Cotecna has become one of the world’s leading providers of product compliance services, with a presence across multiple supply chains such as agriculture, food and pharma, metals and minerals, and consumer goods. Joining forces with ACT is an important milestone, enabling the Group to increase its footprint in the consumer product testing and certification market. Cotecna will support ACT to consolidate its network and reputation as the prime supplier of product compliance solutions on the growing outdoor mobility and lifestyle segment.”

“The market growth of the last few years has brought increased sales and development, with more demand for testing and regulation from our existing and future customers,” states John Bogler, President of ACT Lab. “Partnering with Cotecna is accelerating the opportunity for us to spread further into Europe, Asia, and beyond, while continuing to offer the level of service our customers expect. The most immediate advantage will be to our customers who need service in Europe.”
