National Technical Systems (NTS) on Thursday said it has acquired the testing business of Wyle Laboratories
, giving it new capabilities and a wider geographical footprint in the United States.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
NTS said the acquisition gives it three new testing laboratories that allow it to create “centers of excellence” for nuclear and space testing. The company said the acquisition supports its “mission to be the natural first choice for independent testing solutions.”
Wyle Labs’ three facilities are in Huntsville, Ala., and El Segundo and San Bernandino, Calif. The labs provide capabilities in environmental, dynamics, structural, EMI/EMC, fluid flow, and acoustics testing solutions primarily serving the nuclear, space and defense markets.
NTS already operates a national network of 25 laboratories.
“The addition of Wyle Labs’ testing business to the NTS network will enable us to exceed our customers’ needs and deliver world-class independent solutions they deserve,” William McGinnis, NTS president and CEO, said in a statement.
NTS is a portfolio company of the private equity firm Aurora Capital Group.
