The transaction involves an entity dedicated to electrical and electronic testing, valued at approximately €575 million, excluding debt and cash. This segment, known as MET Labs, offered certification and compliance services for various industrial and electronic equipment.
A strategic refocusing is underway.
The completion of this sale is expected by the end of 2026, subject to customary conditions. It marks a new stage in the reorganization of the group's activities, which seeks to optimize its portfolio by focusing on its most profitable businesses.
With this acquisition, UL Solutions strengthens its position in the testing and certification market, a growing sector driven by regulatory and technological requirements. For Eurofins, this transaction reflects a desire to simplify and allocate its resources more strategically in a demanding competitive environment.
